==Hancock Paper ReHash==
*So my "questions" werent really questions so I will rehash what i said with what Andy has responded with
*Q1: The paper does not dissolved the casein in the BRB completely. Why do we want it to go completely into soln?
**A1: Koch got it all to go into solution back at Sandia, so we should too. Caveat: Koch's "BGB" stuff may be a milk powder (like coffee creamer) that is designed to go completely into solution whereas our purified stuff does/can not
*Q2:Why do we use k-casein even though the paper says its the worst for kinesin binding?
*A2:We use k because it "produces" longer MT's on the surface, making Larry's program run better. Caveat: Andy overlooked the fact that k does not bind kinesin very well (the paper measures kinesin affinity by the amount of MT's stuck to the substrate and k comes in last) and is rethinking what to do at this point

To Do

  • Mystery Package
  • Lab Tour?

Package

  • A package of 2 power supplies came in the other day but no one knows who ordered them
  • I got ahold of Tamara and got it straightened out
    • It belongs to another prof, they just put the wrong name on it

Lab Tour

  • CHTM is having its Silver Anniversary event today and there are lab tours sched' in the evening
  • Although I'm not slated to help, I'm sure I will be around and might help Brigette make a motility assay or something to show off (at the very least just run the computer or just get in the way, we'll see)
