Questionnaire on notes: Wrinch (1936) On the Molecular Structure of Chromosomes
(please press SUBMIT button when finished)
Fall 2014  


I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Old business (no need to repeat anything you've said in a previous questionnaire)

A. What is a Gene and Problem Set 1 (Strategies of Life)
      Any question still bugs you from either of these two assignments?
     

B. Research Proposal
      Are you relatively clear on the nature of the research proposal and how it will play out? (if not, try the Research Proposal page)
      Do you have any ideas on a topic? A mentor?
     

III. Wrinch (1936)
A. How far have you gotten in the companion to Wrinch (1936)?
    You can answer by referring to the last study question you addressed (e.g. SQ12). 

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics pertinent to Wrinch (1936):

B. Finding things in the article

C. Noture of a micelle and its relationship to Wrinch's model of a gene

D. Interpretation of Fig. 3

E. Information content of Wrinch's chromosome

F. Division of Wrinch's chromosome

G. Comparison of her gene to the gene as we now understand it

With this in mind, how could class time best be spent to meet your needs?
Do you have any other questions concerning the material in the notes?

Choose up to four study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ1 SQ2 SQ3 SQ4 SQ5 SQ6 SQ7 SQ8 SQ9
SQ10 SQ11 SQ12 SQ13 SQ14 SQ15 SQ16 SQ17
IV. Protein structure and function
A. How far have you gotten in the notes entitled Protein?
    You can answer by referring to the last section you read or the last study question you addressed (e.g. SQ12). 

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics (as defined by the notes Protein):

B. What amino acids are and how they differ from one another

C. How amino acids are joined to form proteins

D. How the sequence of amino acids of a protein contribute to its ultimate three-dimensional shape

E. The distinction between primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins

F. How the entire three-dimensional structure participates in forming the critical active site of chymotrypsin

G. Two ways in which hydrophobic amino acids can direct a protein to sit in a membrane

H. How a greater ability to predict protein function from its primary structure would change the world we live in

I. What all of this has to do with bioinformatics

With this in mind, how could class time best be spent to meet your needs?

Choose up to three study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ7  SQ8 SQ9 SQ10 SQ11 SQ12 SQ13 SQ14
V. Miscellaneous

Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?

Thanks!
