WRITEUP FROM JACQUIN REQUESTED

The primary experiment in this module is a small-molecule microarray (SMM), which ... To complete the SMM screen, the protein of interest must be cloned into an expression vector and then purified.


Research goal: Identify small molecules that putatively bind to the protein of interest.
