Blog Post 13: Nano and Proteins




1. Post a brief description (and link) to a general overview of MALDI.
MALDI is a great way to examine the molecular structure of different materials.

2. Post an image (3D) of the following proteins: microcystin LR, collagen, and pick another one of your favorite proteins.

3. Post the size of each of these proteins in nanometers.
Microcystin LR: Around 200nm
Collagen: Around 350nm
Hemoglobin: Between 500-1000nm

4. Research and post a cool nano-application that involves proteins.

A great resource for protein is at the Protein Data Bank at: http://www.pdb.org/pdb/home/home.do
