Case Study 2 – THE SWEATY PALMS MISHAP
You have just begun a new job in a toxins laboratory developing antidotes against a range of protein toxins from various sources. On your first day, you are given a rack of 3 tubes containing toxins of one sort or another. You are asked to determine some of the chemical and functional properties of the molecules so antidotes may be designed accordingly. As you look curiously at the contents of each tube, you suddenly realize your sweaty palms have rubbed off the labels!
Luckily for you, the boss is away for 3 days, which gives you enough time to determine the identity of the proteins by using a combination of protein identification techniques and bioinformatics. To begin, you subject the samples to Edman degradation and acquire the following sequences. Biology Assignment: I need help writing a research paper.
