Midterm

There will be one
•
Periodic Table, Hemoglobin, DNA, Anfinsen, Tamiflu will
feature

•
Study TOPIC guide will appear
Syllabus says Oct. 18; I’m thinking 25 may be more likely. Will
inform next week or by e-mail

Anfinsen
A1) each molecule more or less instantly goes to
fully correct form. It’s a ‘snowball rolling down hill’
model, where each correct association greatly
enhances the subsequent. So my 2nd bond is quicker
than your 1st. Predicts precise tracking of disulfides
formed vs. achieved activity

Anfinsen A2

A2) Only correct bonds form, but with different rates
for different bonds--so there is an order and timing
of bond formation that is the same for all molecules.
So A-A’ might form quickly; B-B’ slowly, etc.
Deadline = line + dead
think about it
deadline |ˈdedˌlīn|
noun
1 this definition not relevant
2 historical a line drawn around a prison beyond which prisoners were
liable to be shot.
Does it really make sense to designate that period at the end
as the target as opposed to that at the beginning?
Is it really the case that your schedule is such that all
available times just happen to fall at the last minute?

Beating Tamiflu
Themes:
Evolution: then and now
amino acids, mutations, folding: they matter
How evolution
happens
•
Good ideas are rewarded not sought/planned
•
There’s no mechanism for foresight, so it cannot be that way
