Questionnaire on notes: Hemoglobin and Perutz et al (1965)
(please press SUBMIT button when finished)
Spring 2017  


I. Basic Information

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

A. Problem Set 1
     Anything further you'd like to discuss regarding Problem Set 1?
    

B. Sanger & Tuppy (1953)
     Anything further you'd like to discuss regarding the article Sanger & Tuppy (1953) and its companion?
     How about recreating their analysis, i.e. Problem Set 1, Problem 7, as a community?
    

III. Perutz et al (1965)
A. Have you found and downloaded the article Perutz et al (1965) cited in the companion?
    Are you sure you got the right one? How do you know?
   

B. How far have you gotten in a productive reading of the article?
    You can answer by referring to the last section you read or the last study question you addressed (e.g. SQ12) in the companion.
   

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics (as defined by the companion to Perutz et al):

  • The overall questions addressed by the article
  • The connection between Fig. 1 and Table 2
  • Study questions 1 and 2

With this in mind, how could class time best be spent to meet your needs?
As always, refer to specific matters and relate your current understanding and efforts you've made to address your discomfort.
Do you have any other questions concerning the material in the notes?

IV. Visualization of protein structure
A. Were you able to access Hemoglobin Structure and run Protein Explorer? Any problems?
    (If you are not able to get the tutorial to run, here's a possible solution)
   

B. Were you able to bring whale myoglobin into Protein Explorer?
   

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics (as defined by the Hemoglobin tutorial and the companion to Perutz et al):

  • The different ways protein structures are presented graphically, pros and cons
  • The overall structure of hemoglobin
  • The basis for the formation of alpha helices
  • The role of hydrophobicity in the formation of hemoglobin
  • Study questions 1 and 2

With this in mind, how could class time best be spent to meet your needs?
As always, refer to specific matters and relate your current understanding and efforts you've made to address your discomfort.
Do you have any other questions concerning the material in the notes?

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