CBI Molecules

From Proteopedia

These are molecules under study by members of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Chemistry-Biology Interface Program. Many of the molecules we study are featured at the Molecular Playground. Follow the links below to read nontechnical descriptions in Proteopedia.

UMass CBI Members, add your molecules to the list; follow the instructions below the list.

Molecular Playground/Bacterial Chemotaxis Receptors, Thompson & Weis laboratories

Instructions:

1. If you don't already have one, request a Proteopedia account and log in.

2. Make yourself a sandbox page in which you will develop your CBI Molecule scene and description.

3. Follow the format of the sample CBI molecule page "Bacterial chemotaxis receptors". Easiest way to do this is to copy this page (in editing mode), paste it into your sandbox page, and then edit to describe and display your molecule. Your goal is to make this an interesting, nontechnical description of the molecule.

4. Create an attractive scene for your molecule: use the scene authoring tools in the edit mode to create the view you like, then copy the wiki text into your window.

5. Follow instructions at Molecular Playground/Procedures as well.

6. When you are happy with your sandbox page, make yourself a permanent Proteopedia page, which will be editable by others. Enter "Molecular Playground/your molecule" (omit quotes) in the search box, then follow the instructions to create this new page. Copy the content of your sandbox to this new page.

7. Edit this page to add a listing and link for your molecule, following the "Bacterial chemotaxis receptors" example.
