HLSC322 Project: Exploring Structure/Function of Genetically Relevant Molecules

Objective: You will investigate the structure and function of a genetically relevant molecule (you have been assigned a molecule). You will use this page to create a short report that highlights the relevant structural features that relate to the molecules function.

We are exploring structure to help us appreciate the chemical basis of heredity and to begin to understand how structures of proteins is tied to their functions

YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO WORK WITH OTHER TEAMS TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT!

For help along the way you should consult Proteopedia:Video Guide or Help:Getting Started in Proteopedia
For more help on marking up a Wiki page you can check this Cheatsheet[1]

== Instructions: ==

1. ALWAYS 'SAVE PAGE' FREQUENTLY WHILE YOU ARE WORKING. (this is a Wiki and all versions will be available)
2. Introduction: This should be a brief (≤250 words), clear exposition that orients the reader to the genetic process involved and the role of your molecule in this process.
3. Load an applet of your molecule (place it and size it to your liking)
4. About your molecule's name: Here you will write a paragraph or two that describes structural aspects of the molecule that are relevant to its function. You will create at least 3 Scenes that help readers visualize these feature.
5. Your Scenes: You can design your scenes in anyway you wish but you should try to use the full potential of the visualization tools available for Scene creation. This is about exploring structure more than about writing.
6. Feel free to consult with you TA and Dr. O'Brochta.
