Continue expanding list of new HRP literature
Continue characterization of HRP
Expand on contingency ideas (propose 3rd project)
Expand on HRP application ideas
Develop outlines of proposal presentations for Monday
Discuss proposal for database of experiments
Discuss considerations raised during Thursday's debriefing:

Considerations:

Glucose/Insulin System

  • Currently proposed receptor: for Glucose-6-P. Receptor available for glucose?
  • Nature of signal required to secrete insulin - pulse or other?

Thermogenic System

  • Will this plasma-based enzyme system lead to clumping (due to hydrophobicity) - efficiency issues
  • Look into alternative enzyme system which could be located intracellularly
  • Investigate actual thermogenic reaction - will the reaction catalyzed actually produce heat? Literature based?
