Lab Notebook and Experiment Summary for Gel Electrophoresis and Ultracentrifugation Techniques
This week, lab notebooks are due, and students must submit a one-paragraph summary of their denaturation experiment as a pair. Additionally, each pair will sign up for 25 minutes of Computational Design (CD) time on Wednesday and Thursday. The experiment includes utilizing dialysis methods to separate small and large molecules and covers key figures and tables related to gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation. Understanding structural features of globular proteins, species separation based on density, and molecular mobility in SDS-PAGE is also crucial for this week's discussions.

Structural features of most globular proteins: 1. Very compact: e.g. Mb has room for only4 water molecules in its interior. 2. Most polar/charged R groups are on the surface and are hydrated. 3. Nearly all the hydrophobic R groups are on the interior. 4. Pro occurs at bends/loops/random structures and in sheets
