- This assignment's purpose was to further learn how to present a scientific paper to a community. We are taking notes on vocabulary in addition to the paper in order to fully understand the article. This assignment is the first Journal Club assignment of our own, so we are given the freedom to find what works best.
- What I learned from the paper was the variability of conformations within the V3 loop could offer explanations for the pathogenicity of HIV. There a certain regions that remain constant throughout different genes that suggest their crucial role in determining relative shape. Also, I realized there a number of ways to approach a disease in terms of trying to find a cure. Distinguishing its function on the protein level is just another approach. Finally, I learned the difficulty of picking apart a biochemical scientific paper.
- I understand the assignment well enough, but understanding the paper has been a little bit more challenging. It has become difficult to grow accustom to the terms (such as Fab 59.2 and Aib). Also, the results displayed a lot of numbers and angles that I couldn't really grasp. Overall, though, I am slowly getting the gist of the paper.

- The purpose of this assignment was to continue our Journal clubs as well as undertaking an entire journal club ourselves. This would be the first time that we would be assigned a paper and asked to read through and prepare a presentation based on our findings. There were three papers and our team was assigned the first one.
- This assignment was jumping head first into beginning to understand the structure of HIV. It was very different from earlier papers that looked at how the virus progressed as now we had to understand the conformational changes as well as how things linked together. Our paper focussed on gp120 and several other parts involved in the process. I also learned more about working on a journal club with a team.
- There were actually several things I did not yet understand about this assignment. There are many aspects of the structure of HIV that are confusing to me, such as the Chemokine receptor sites.
