Personal TODO list

  • "Likewise should be easy to get nice pics of the Plac-cenA (Congo Red), Plac-cex (MUC) and Plac-rcsA (mucoid) colonies."
  • Fix Lukasz's animation page?
  • Suppress hints box if no hints present.

Notes to self

Stuff others are doing

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).
