The objective of this assignment is to make a web page that describes and illustrates the 3D structural characteristics of your topic. As part of your research project, you will also be developing a proteopedia (http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) page showing the important structural characteristics of the topic you are researching. If you are looking at a disease, your page would include structure of the proteins that are mutated, and talk about how that causes the disease. It may also include drugs used to treat the disease, and talk about how the drug remedies the disease state.
If you are working on a drug: • Show structure of the drug. • Show structure of the drug in the context of the protein structure. (glutamate structure • Compare the location of the drug in comparison to the active site. • Show the contacts or attractions that are present between the drug and the remainder of the protein. • Identify types of contacts (intermolecular forces) that are present between the drug and the protein. The text that you use on your proteopedia page SHOULD NOT duplicate the research report you turn in separately. Your proteopedia page should focus specifically on how structure relates to your topic.
