It was a busy first week. I am excited to say that i have 100% confidence in B2 (Ben and Blake) in terms of: 1) proper pipet usage, 2) buffer prep, 3) making enzyme solutions and corresponding calculations, 4) using the nanodrop to determine concentrations, AND 5) immobilizing HRP. We also spent some time using the amperometric H2O2 sensor and amazingly it worked perfect (sorry Josh G and Matt F)! B2 also survived the following: 1) 3 hour mega-lecture on peroxidases, oxidative phosphoryation, apoptosis, hemes, O2, superoxide, peroxide, cyt c, microperoxidases...to name a few, 2) an interactive (WinSim) ESR discussion, and 3) a 1.5 hr webinar discussing the NSF-MRI and NSF-ARI programs.
This week is also off to a great start. General projects goals have been outlined and we should be ordering enzymes and lipids by the end of the week. B2 will also be leading an informal discussion of their project on Friday at noon.
