Protein Modeling C

[huppada]

What textbooks should I read for Protein Modeling? Would an organic chemistry textbook chapter be a good idea?

The papers that MSOE puts on its website are a great read(last year’s papers are good for understanding CRISPR), and ig scioly wiki is a decent starting point(I think it’s all factually correct to ). Naw, def not orgochem, that just doesn’t really help imo

For all of the questions about proteins, I think studying biochemistry would help. Of course, basic orgo knowledge may be useful too.

This sounds kind of extra but would any of you recommend Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry? I went on a Scioly wiki link about protein modeling that referenced to chapters in Lehninger.

And there seems to be some extra actually useful videos this year!

Is it just me or did this confusion come up last year as well? One paper per team or person??

Each participant may bring one 8.5'' x 11'' sheet of paper

and in the next line it specifies

Each team will impound...

This year it seems like one paper per person?

This year they make it clear that each participant may bring a paper, so up to 3 papers per full team. Last year the rules were unclear and at least for me most supervisors only allowed 1 paper per team.

Last year: . "Each participant must bring a pencil or pen for the exam, a marker for marking the toobers, a metric
ruler with cm marks, and one 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper "

This year: " Each participant may bring one 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper, which may be in a sheet protector sealed by tape or laminated, that may contain information on both sides in any form and from any source without any annotations or labels affixed along with writing utensils for each participant."

Both years seem to indicate we can take 3 pages, but it wasn't allowed last year anywhere I went. With the same wording imo, I would say 1 page.

If I recall, there was a rule clarification last year for another event with similar wording (Forensics, perhaps?) that stated the language "each participant" indicates that the number of sheets allowed is that number given * team members participating in the event. I'd have to dig through soinc though, but I seem to remember a ruling on this.

It's interesting that Soinc bolded the word participant in this year's rules, I feel like that means they want to emphasize to people that it is 1 page for each person --> 3 pages per full team. It's definitely safer to bring just 1 piece of paper though...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't bold in the rules indicate a change, rather than an emphasis?
