Document Summary
Instructions: make your answers clear and concise, use the back of each sheet to write answers if you run out of room, blue or black ink is preferred. (if you write in pencil, you cannot request a regrade. ) Short answer: you are in a synthetic biology competition and the goal is to design a new organism. Name at least two proteins you will use. For each protein, name the body part where each protein will be deployed and why you chose that protein for that body part (4 points). Sample answers: i would make hair and nails so i would use keratin. I would want a squishy part like a jellyfish so i would use proteoglycans. I would want a hard, exoskeleton so i would use chitin. I would want some bones so i would use collagen mixed with hydroxyapatite: please draw the three main conformational states of integrins.
