Week 3

Hi everyone, I really enjoyed learning about what you all were working on for the past three weeks. I look forward on learning more on everyones research and see what their outcome is. So this past week, Luis and I continue to do Kinetics with the assistance of Dr. Salvesen and Scott. The process we went through to obtain good results was interesting and a great learning opportunity. Luis and I found out that data obtained from kinetics can be misleading because not all data obtained is what it appears to be. We got data that looked like it was good but in reality it did not graph a nice Michaelis Menten or a linear graph. Eventually, after Scott’s and Dr. Salvesen’s troubleshooting we were able to get good results by lowering the substrate concentration. So as all of you have learned, this week (week four) we will be  working on NETs and PLA and I am super excited.
