    Health care providers are consistently unaware of the implications, efficacy, and resources correlated with medical cannabis and cannabidiol. Thus, patients are uninformed about medical cannabis as a treatment option for their qualifying conditions. Informative educational sessions present a method to facilitate specialty knowledge development regarding medical cannabis and cannabidiol. In this scholarly project, six nurse practitioners and two allied staff members, attended a PowerPoint presentation followed by an open discussion regarding cannabinoids. Examination of post-presentation survey results indicated that felt more informed about the physiology and efficacy of cannabidiol, more aware of the resources for them, and had increased comfort speaking and informing their patients about cannabidiol after the educational session. These results indicate that health care providers’ increased knowledge and awareness about medical cannabis and cannabidiol translates into increased comfort recommending cannabidiol in their patient’s treatment plan. Future implications include continued education to health care providers in different demographics, to expand awareness of medical cannabis and cannabidiol and their associated implications to wellness

    Protein Design: Toward Functional Metalloenzymes

    No full text
    The scope of this Review is to discuss the construction of metal sites in designed protein scaffolds. We categorize the effort of designing proteins into redesign, which is to rationally engineer desired functionality into an existing protein scaffold,(1-9) and de novo design, which is to build a peptidic or protein system that is not directly related to any sequence found in nature yet folds into a predicted structure and/or carries out desired reactions.(10-12) We will analyze and interpret the significance of designed protein systems from a coordination chemistry and biochemistry perspective, with an emphasis on those containing constructed metal sites as mimics for metalloenzymes
