Introduction

Protocols

Part X: Design experiments to test putative small molecule binders

In your laboratory notebook, complete the following:

  • Consider two potential next step experiments that you might perform to test putative small molecule binders identified from the SMM screen. For each experiment:
    • What specifically will the experiment test?
    • Is the experiment a next step? Does the experimental approach make assumptions beyond the data acquired from the SMM screen?
    • Include some information regarding a method that could be used to complete the experiment. What controls should be included?
  • Consider the implications of your research.
    • How does your research address the knowledge gap / research question? This should tie back to the information provided in the Introduction of your Research article.
    • How does your research advance the field of anti-malarial drug discovery? Don't overreach, but do state what is now known because of your work.
