I found the schools gym this morning and it’s free!!! I think I’ll continue to run in the morning and work out there after.
Today in the lab I put my one week’s work to the test. After doing the protein purification from E. coli I collected the protein Qcr6 which is used in the mitochondria for respiration. I digested the protein with the peptidase, trypsin, and ran a gel to see if I could isolate the core part of Qcr6 so I could use it in the NMR machine to determine its structure. Well after having the boss, Momose-san, look at the results he said they were good but I need to spend one more day to change the digestion conditions to get a good isolation of the core part of the protein.
One of the gels I made! Qcr6 looks great!!! But there’s a lot more work to do…Today in the lab I talked about my favorite Japanese actress, Itoh Misaki-san. I said it would be really cool if I could meet with her. They told me it’s impossible, but we’ll see…
