Electronic Lab Notebook

This page is dedicated to the course I am taking at Loyola Marymount University this Spring semester. The course is Biomathematical Modeling. Each week there will be an assignment that I will post as well as a link to a Class Journal Entry.

Week 1

So that my peers and professors can learn more about myself, I am answering a few questions about my interest in Biology and Mathematics.

  1. My Favorite Aspect of Biology
    • I enjoy biology for many reasons. The main reason is because it tells the story of life. Through biology, we have learned not only about ourselves as humans, but we have also gained knowledge about other unicellular and multicellular organisms. This information helps guide how we live today as well as what we can predict for the future. Micro- to macroscopic, biology connects the dots and we continue to discover amazing things about our world.
  2. My Favorite Aspect of Mathematics
    • Math just makes sense to me. It is very logical and systematically explains various processes and theories. Numbers do not lie. They provide evidence to why we can believe what we believe. Math further supports and strengthens conclusions made in the sciences like biology.

Biological Terms

These are the following terms that I had a hard time fully understanding. I did not know exactly what they meant or what they were in relation to what was done in the article.

  • Proline: a heterocyclic, non-polar amino acid that is present in all proteins studied to date [Source]
  • Continuous Cultures: a technique for production of microbes or microbial products in which nutrients are continuously supplied to the fermenter [Source]
  • Assimilation: The conversion of nutriment into a useable form (e.g. liquid or solid) that is incorporated into the tissues and organs following the processes of digestion [Source, (3)]
  • Permease: protein in bacteria that is responsible for transport of substances into or out of the cell; sometimes referred to as a transport protein [Source]
  • Northern analyses (RNA): also known as Northern blot analysis; a procedure used mostly to separate and identify RNA fragments; typically the RNA fragment is moved to an agarose gel to a nitrocellulose filter [Source]
  • Oligonucleotides: a short polymer of nucleotides [Source]
  • GS (Glutamate synthesase) transferase: An enzyme that catalyses a reaction between ATP, l‐glutamate, and NH3 to form ADP, orthophosphate, and l‐glutamine [Source]
