Personal TODO list

  • What was this optical data all about?
  • "Likewise should be easy to get nice pics of the Plac-cenA (Congo Red), Plac-cex (MUC) and Plac-rcsA (mucoid) colonies."

Stuff to check:

Less important:

  • Fix Lukasz's animation page?
  • The sitemap needs to be updated or eliminated.
  • Suppress hints box if no hints present.

Notes to self

Large display of small GIF

Non-synergistic versus synergistic systems. Dark regions are places where the cellulose has been degraded down to free glucose molecules.

Video game concept

You control a humble ribosome. You are powered by sugar. Outside the cell is cellobiose floating around. You can express B-glucosidase on the cell exterior to get more sugar. You can express other stuff. There's cellulose floating around too. You can express cellulases. There's phage. You can express proteases or somesuch?

Lignin degradation

  • Requires glucose oxidase to supply H2O2, a cofactor for other enzymes...
    • Lignin peroxidase
    • Manganaese peroxidase
    • Laccase?

Some of these use flavin cofactors but it seems proteins using these can be successfully displayed using INP (Van Bloois et al, 2009).

Gold medal criteria

  • Our wiki watch page is clearly a type of collaboration.
  • Cooperation with Trieste re: C. fimi BGlu sequence.
  • Cooperation with Trieste re: C. fimi BGlu assay.
  • Registry update for K415151.
  • Registry update for K392008.
  • Registry update for K265008.
  • Registry update for K118022.
