We’re thrilled to invite you to be part of New Student Welcome 2025—a vibrant event marking the close of new student orientation and the kickoff to the academic year, designed to help our newest Prairie Stars feel at home and connected!

We’re currently seeking campus partners to host Breakout Sessions, Evening or Late-Night Social Events, or Open Houses/Affinity Group Meet-Ups. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your department, organization, or initiative while making a lasting impact on our newest Prairie Stars.

Metalloproteinases (MPs), a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases, include matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs). These enzymes are tightly associated with several diseases when not regulated by their inhibitors and activators, making them attractive targets for developing novel protein-based therapeutics . In this work , we explored application of deep learning models in screening binders to MPs.

Due to Brookens Library's closure for maintenance the week of June 30, in-person access to ITS Client Services will be by appointment only. To schedule a visit to our help desk, please email techsupport@uis.edu or call 217-206-6000.

We appreciate your understanding as the library undergoes this essential work.
