Melanin

As macromolecular machines, enzymes conduct their designated work in the confined and crowded spaces inside living cells. How does a protein work in such a condition? Functions of proteins are strongly dependent on their structural stability and dynamics while the (macro) molecular interactions are arguably affected by the complexity and diversity of their environments. To date, two interrelated cellular conditions — ‘macromolecular crowding’ resulted from the effect of volume exclusion by…

It was only 2 o’clock in the morning. Palms sweating with blood and a delicate heart that is fighting with itself to continue beating. Everything was a disaster. A faint Siren rang through the hushed neighborhood occupied by 30 small houses and street lights that lit up the dim streets and sidewalks. The smell of death filled Myrtle Avenue and arose from the weightless body. Death was as loud as the laced weed the drug dealers sold outside of the corner store on 28th street. “Shit” Officer James…

Melanin is Meaningless Before the civil rights movement people of color were treated completely the opposite of how caucasian people were acted towards. In the poem titled, America, by Claude McKay written in 1919 provides an insight into how an Jamaican-American is not equally treated in America through personal experiences. During the time this poem was written the Harlem Renaissance was taking place and through this event many people of color united together to express themselves through…

Uprooted from the only home I had ever known, and too embarrassed to utter a single word in english, it seemed as if my worst fears had come to life. For many, this may have been the case, but for my mother and I, this was our chance to shine. I had always been a confident girl back in Kenya, and this was because I had everything I ever needed and more. Through my childhood, I encountered and saw things no child should experience, but I still remained undaunted. My mother would always call me…

The fear of black males in white American and police culture has perpetuated the use of violence against young black males, as evidenced by social injustices in court cases, the workforce and individual tasks blacks encounter. Subsequently, my working claim is that the injustices blacks encounter are steered by the tandem of implicit bias and negligence, thus perpetuating the degradation of blacks so long as this remains unaddressed. Research regarding my topic is vast because the fact remains…

The Academy award winning film Titanic depicts ideologies of gender and class differences of the 1910’s. Masculinity of the upper class male is portrayed as strong, violent and intellectual men. On the contrary, upper class women are represented as separate spheres and submissive to the males. James Cameron, the writer and director, makes a fascinating portrayal of Rose, the lead character, in relation to feminity. The movie Titanic visibly depicts the altering disposition of women’s place in…

I’m expected to roll my neck and receive no respect because I’m expected to have tons of sass but hardly any class and my naturally curly kinky hair is something that I shouldn’t share with the world. Also, just because I’m black doesn’t mean I’m ignorant and unwilling to unpack controversial issues that affect everyone and not only my fellow blacks. So don’t think this is an “angry black girl” rant, but instead recognize that I just want a chance to make people aware that the things they see in…

To attempt to live like Atticus Finch is quixotic, much like expecting a new social construct within the United States. A professor of Political Science and African American studies, Dr Melvin Rogers, initially seems like he will appreciate modern black introspection and then admire how its epistolary form contributes to contemporary literature. But he does not move in that direction. I disagree with Rogers’s assessment of Between the World and Me by Ta-nehisi Coates, specifically his view,…
