Things I should do...

Decided not to go to school tmr… and this time round i HAVE to do work at home rather than just slack all over the place. At least i did progress by doing some blasts today… I'll try and get as much of the blast of of the way as i can before i go to bed...

Hmm lets see… i think i'm almost done with my structure research on protein 1...

So i've  got to continue reading up on 2nd protein… which is seriously complicated (all my previous attempts have ended up in failures)...

Still got to read up more on why i'm working on protein 1… and i have to do that for protein 2 as well… and than i have to read up on structure of protein two…

And finish up the blast for protein 2… and since i've gotten so many hits for protein 2, i should start on the clustalw asap else i'll die later or something… it’s a great thing there are so many hits for it… but that also mean more work when it comes to analyzing the results later… Its totally unlike the 1st protein where there aren't many hits… (even than, somehow i still had more than belinda… which is weird)… now i have so many hits that its crazy… there'll be like 4 or 5 hits with similarly high sequence coverage and a superb score… i'll still pick one only though… else it'll be way too many to work on… So many hits that its really crazy…! Crazily happy and crazily worried… if you know what i mean. I Should more my white board from above my bed to my book shelf. I should write out the stuff i need to do and leave it where its really obvious so i get reminded to do my work and all.

List:

1) Consolidate findings on structure of protein 1, write it out nicely

2) Consolidate findings on why i'm using protein 1 as a marker

3) Find out about protein 2 structure

4) Find out about protein 2 general info

5) Find out about protein 2 - why it’s a good marker

6) Finish blast for protein 2, and do a meta clustalw and clustalx

7) Finish up annotations for protein 1 clustal -> almost done

8) Start on clustalw for protein 2

9) Organise all the research papers i've gathered

10) Organise all the useful information i've hastily dumped in a word doc

Yes… i'm working on bioinformatics and its undoubtedly more relaxing than those lab work… but like 3 weeks of slacking off is really bad… if we can't keep to the schedule we won't be able to order the primers in time for us to do the pcr… which i really want to...

 

ok, back to blast!
