  1.  can anyone help with this homework question?

     

    Your project is focused on the studies of interactions of the mouse protein tyrosine kinase XYZ with other cellular proteins.

    Here is what you know about XYZ: It is a cytosolic protein, which is approximately 750 amino acid residues-long. It phosphorylates a wide spectrum of cellular proteins. XYZ is phosphorylated itself on several tyrosine residues. The phosphorylation of XYZ is essential for the functions of this kinase, although details are unknown. There are also reasons to believe that XYZ is glycosylated.

    Your goal is to identify as many proteins interacting with XYZ as possible.

    Design the optimal and the second-best experimental strategies for achieving your goal. Be specific about what you are going to do without describing minor details of the proposed experiments. Explain why you have chosen these strategies and not the others. (12 pts)

    Would your strategy be different if your goal was to determine whether or not XYZ interacts with ABC, a well-known cytosolic protein? (3 pts)

    (TWO pages is the limit for your answer, including all figures, if figures are used.)

  2. so, I'm a first year biomedical student and one of my core classes is not going well. We have about 20 lectures for each exam which is every 3.5 weeks. THATS A LOT FOR ME. Some of the lectures are straightforward to my understanding but when the exam comes, I get so lost in how to answer them. I feel like some of the professors make the questions extra hard. The questions seem so hypothetical that I cant correlate them to the lectures. Any help on how to study better and take on the exams better?

  3. it really grinds my gears that I got rejected from a school because of my GRE scores! Why did you then interview me in the first place like you didn't see my scores or something. Program director emailed saying your interviews went well and everyone liked you blah blah blah. Just ended up accepting me into their MS program like I applied for it in the first place :(

    Thought I'd throw my update out there:

     

    UPenn CAMB/Cancer - waiting

    Pitt IBGP/Cell and Molecular Pathology - Interview March 3

    Tufts Sackler/Biomedical - waiting

    UChicago Biomedical/Cancer - waiting

    OHSU Cancer Bio - Rejected

    UW (Seattle) MCB - waiting

    UCSD Biomedical - waiting

    UCI Biomedical Gateway Cell and Molecular - Interview Jan 26 (got this offer even before they sent out their "hey, we're reviewing apps" email lol)

    Temple - not even due till Feb 15 lol (thinking they won't have interviews? that's why it's at the bottom)

     

    Emailed UPenn, Chicago and UW to see if they're done sending invites. I'll update with that when/if I know.

    did you hear from temple biomedical sciences phd yet?!
