I finally finished reading the research papers I found relating to microperoxidases and cytochrome c. To be completely honest, I couldn't understand half of the material in those papers; however, I did come to a general understanding as to their chemical functions. I was also able to get a lot of info about Microperoxidase-11 (MP11) when I emailed Corey White, a graduate of Monmouth a couple years ago and who now works at Sigma-Aldrich.
I learned how to use the UV-Vis this week and compile data using software such as "Gepasi" and "Igor"; very useful.
We're planning to go to Iowa to use their instrumentation next Wednesday; until then, we have to get ready and prepare our samples for testing.
Brad also got a new 10MP camera, so I expect he'll be taking pictures of the entire trip. To see them, go look on his blog.
