'''1. Topics due Monday 2/9 11pm'''
'''1. Optional Teammate requests: You may request one teammate by 2/2 in Moodle.
:'''Teams''' of 4 people will be assigned, to include both chemistry and chemical engineering majors on most teams. You may request one teammate by emailing the TA by noon Feb 16.  
:'''Teams''' of 6 people will be assigned, to include both chemistry and chemical engineering majors on most teams.  
:Once you know your team assignment, select an available '''topic''' (not already chosen by another team); see our course website for suggestions and guidelines to find a simple protein-ligand complex (eg protein-drug, nucleic acid-drug, or protein-DNA) with a known structure in the pdb that interests your team. If you want to choose a topic not on the list, be sure that it does not already have a detailed Proteopedia page and email Prof Thompson to get approval: send the pdb code for the complex and briefly explain the disease connection or why it is interesting. Add your topic to the team list at [[Sandbox423]] by 2/24.
 
''''2. Topic and pdb code due in Moodle Monday 2/9 11pm'''
:Once you know your team assignment, select an available '''topic''' Must be unique: first-come, first-served, so check the posted list in Moodle to be sure that your topic has not already been chosen. Follow the guidelines for topics (see Moodle). Choose from the list of suggested topics, OR choose another topic of interest and check (1) to be sure it is not on the "Topics to avoid" list, and (2) check with the instructor. All topics (suggested or otherwise) must be checked to be sure there is not already a detailed Proteopedia page for the same complex or same pdb code.

:This will include the published paper that describes your structure (the reference associated with your pdb code). You will get much of your information about specific interactions to look for and highlight in the structure from this reference (which is much easier than trying to find these on your own with no guidance!).

This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
