Lecture's Done! GO Card Hunting Time!

Talked about protein modeling, right down my BINF alley. Fold.it is a monster program, and I basically learned folding from that. Also talked about sorting proteins by size using SDS PAGE and various forms of protein filtration. Lots of conceptual data, but nothing that was of major new interest, unfortunately. I understand that the hydrophobic parts are favored on the inside, and that folding a structure together is done in small steps towards the stable native state instead of all at once (like denaturing in Fold.it and refolding using auto-fold.

Getting my NETID set up and my GO card printed! Will check in class meeting. Hope I won't be randomly introduced to 180+ students, because I skipped orientation, though I do believe it is small-group meeting with team leaders. I'll probably be short on lunch time, so a bite of Taco Bell (-_- still miffed about cost) and then back to class.
