Deadlines | |||
'''1. Optional Team or Teammate requests: You may request one teammate or a complete team of 5 people (including both chemistry and chemical engineering students) by 1pm 2/1 in Moodle.''' | |||
Teams of 5 people will be assigned and posted in Moodle, to include both chemistry and chemical engineering majors on most teams. | |||
'''2. Topic and pdb code due in Moodle Friday 2/5 1pm''' | |||
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. You must check your topic (suggested or otherwise) to be sure there is not already a detailed Proteopedia page for the same complex or same pdb code. | |||
Team/topic list will be posted in Moodle. Proteopedia 2016 Projects page will have links to each team’s sandbox page. | |||
'''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. | |||
'''4. Sandbox page displaying initial structure and one green scene due by end of class workshop 2/10 -- bring your computers to class''' | |||
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 2/22 -- 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. | |||
'''6. Project completed (all sections) in Proteopedia by Sun 4/10. All team members also submit their text to Turn It In (see class Moodle page).''' | |||
