Today we covered most of chapter 7, on protein structure and function. We further discussed the secondary structure of proteins (α-helices and β-sheets), and we talked about the tertiary and quaternary structures as well.
In terms of function we mainly discussed how DNA-binding proteins can read the information in the double helix without breaking the hydrogen bonds between bases.
Reminder: The first draft of the review paper is due tomorrow at noon. Send me an electronic file (preferably a Word document) before then.
