Week 3 (9/13 – 9/17)

Hey everyone. For me, the early part of this week was oriented around the two refreshers. By Wednesday, I managed to finish both of them and upload my results to GoogleDocs for you all to see. During the latter part of the week, I spent time organizing my lab notebook for Friday’s check, preparing and sending off my Midiprep results to be sequenced, and analyzing the results. I just finished comparing and BLAST-ing my results today so I’ll be uploading those to GoogleDocs this weekend as well. As for next week, I’ll be focusing on two major tasks – The first is the target research report, which I hope to beging very early on (if someone knows where the instructions/guidelines sheet is, please let me know!). The second is expressing and purifying my pNIC-Bsa4 + CA7 protein. I hope to finish this by the end of the week and finally be ready to go with some virtual screening and (hopefully) find some good inhibitors. I hope everyone has a great week ahead of them and I look forward to seeing you all in the lab!
