:3. '''Start your team’s sandbox page by completing the "See Also" section by Monday 2/8. Are any human-authored Proteopedia pages too similar?'''
Enter or edit your team's topic name and pdb code, and byline names. Complete the "See Also" section: add links to any related Proteopedia Topic Pages (not pages titled with the pdb code). Search for these, for example at http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Topic_Page, Topic_pages, and Proteopedia:structure_Index. If you find another useful search strategy, post it under Help at Sandbox 423. If there is another page describing a complex with the same or a very similar molecule, you will need to choose a new topic.

In your assigned sandbox page click "edit this page" (top) and follow the directions to insert your rotating structure on your page. Describe and illustrate with a green scene the secondary structure of your protein.

:5. '''Sandbox page with each section displaying an outline and at least one green scene due by beginning of class 2/24 -- bring your computers to class.'''
Each team member should read the primary reference for the pdb structure and create an outline for their section and at least one green scene. Teams will meet briefly during class to discuss the overall organization as needed to make it logical and avoid duplication. As individuals proceed to create their sections, they should watch the other sections and stay in contact as needed to create a coherent overall project.

''Your proteopedia page should be organized into the following required sections, with each team member responsible for one of sections a-e of the team project.''
''Your proteopedia page should be organized into the following required sections, with each team member responsible for one of sections a-e of the team project.''
Each section should have its own JMol window. Provide an interesting description (suitable for non-experts), and illustrate your points about the complex with multiple green scenes. Be concise (<300 words)! Do not include any copyrighted figures! All sections must be written in your own words with citations to your sources, following the reference format in the example below (go into edit this page, to see how these references were done). You may include links to other interesting information or scenes but you must create your own scenes for display on your page.  
All sections will be within a single scrolling section (single JSmol window) -- I changed to this in March to speed up loading. Provide an interesting description (suitable for non-experts), and illustrate your points about the complex with multiple green scenes. Be concise (<300 words)! Do not include any copyrighted figures! All sections must be written in your own words with citations to your sources, following the reference format in the example below (go into edit this page, to see how these references were done). You may include links to other interesting information or scenes but you must create your own scenes for display on your page.  


''Make it interesting and accessible to a non-scientist!  Show clearly some chemical details to illustrate the chemistry of life processes!''
