Rational:

To evaluate the project’s progress as well as my own contributions to the project. Also to create an outline of the presentation for the Symposium on the process behind our research. Comparisons between the different protein stuctures were also done

Procedure:

• Each individual filled out the form for the QTM evaluation
• After the print outs of the different phage’s endolyins and holins were compared to see similarities and differences
• The uses of Jmol were also explored in more detail to be able to use it more efficiently
• The group created a shared presentation and created an outlne for the presenation

Fig.14 – This image shows the amino acids that are part of the catalyic site of Elesar’s endolysin

Conclusion:

We were able to better understand Jmol so that we can better use it as a tool. We were able to see how similarly or dfferently the structures of other phage’s holin and endolysins were. We were also able to create a outlne for the presentation. Next we will find where the catalytic site is on other phages and finish the presentation for the Symposium on Friday.
