I. Basic Information
A. Your name
II. Old business
- Summary of an experiment described in a research article and Critiques
Clear on
how to write a summary,
how to critique someone else's,
and how to submit them through the
BNFO300 summary blog?
Crick et al (1961) and the triplet code
Drawing, perhaps, on the companion to Crick (1961)
and Problem Set 5, Questions 5 and 6, do you understand how Crick et al's
experiment worked? Any concerns
about mutagenesis by acridines? Recombination between two phages? The nature of suppressor mutations? How to
construct multiply mutant phages? What the double and triple mutants say about the genetic code?
Jones & Nirenberg (1962) and Alien Genetic Code
Drawing, perhaps, on the companion to
Jones & Nirenberg (1962), do you understand Jones & Nirenberg's experiment worked? The nature of RNA produced
by polynucleotide phosphorylase? Interpretation of Table 3? How do deduce an
alien genetic code?
Research proposal?
Progress? Problems?
III. Belozersky & Spirin (1957)
- How far have you gotten in this article (and its companion)?)?
- Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics regarding these matters:
- The one-gene - one-ribosome - one-protein model (Fig. 2 of the companion)
- Volkin and Astrachan's result
- How to read the table of Belozersky & Spirin
- How to calculate (G+T) / (A+C) etc
- The relationship of Belozersky & Spirin's results to the 1-gene 1-ribosome 1-protein model
IV. Miscellaneous
Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?
(nb. Issues concerning your proposal are always welcome)
