It's great to build on a previous entry, but you must leave the earlier one intact and make a copy that you improve and mark as new.  Later we will retain the new one with a merged author list.

'''Congratulations to the prize-winning CBI molecules noted above! These also provide great examples to follow. Another prize for best CBI Molecules page and/or scene will be awarded in spring 2011!'''

Choose a molecule that is part of your research project. If someone in your group has already made a page for your research molecule, you can improve on that previous entry. You must leave the previously created page intact and make a copy that you improve and mark as new.  Later we will retain the new one with a merged author list.

3. Follow the format of the sample CBI molecule page [[Molecular Playground/Bacterial Chemotaxis Receptors]]. Easiest way to do this is to copy this page (in editing mode), paste it into your sandbox page, keep the first paragraph about CBI molecules, and then edit to describe and display your molecule. Your goal is to make this an interesting, nontechnical description of the molecule. If multiple people in one group work on the same molecule, you can each make different scenes for the same CBI molecule and each describe them on the same proteopedia page. Talk with each other about your plans so you are not duplicating efforts.

4. Complete above steps by 12/1/11, and add a link to your sandbox page at: Sandbox CBI (CBI Molecules in Progress).


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.

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 a new page with this title. Copy the content of your sandbox to this new page.

7. When you have finished the final version of your page and scene, edit this CBI Molecules page to add a listing and link for your molecule, following the  examples above, and be sure to mark it as NEW FALL 2011. If you are improving a previously created page, leave the old one intact and make a copy that you improve and mark as new.  Later we will retain the new one with a merged author list. When multiple authors contribute to a Molecular Playground page, please indicate your scene with your initials. It would be great to link the lab names to web pages too.
