I would be quite prepared to have a go at this - Jw, Raj and I had a
discussion in the bar after the BioMOO tutorial. I think we should take
it card by card because that gives a good structure for the agenda.
A *separate* possible fun idea is that we prepare a fully annotated PDB file
as a voluntary course project - something that we would be proud of - and
that might be
mounted at B'haven for show. I suggested insulin , but I gather this is
a subjet for their assignment so that perhaps something like hemoglobin
might be more appropriate.
Obviously the markup would point to the PDB docs, but there would be
aditional material. e.g. we would show the proper chemical structure of
heme, discuss the symmetry of the molecule - the a2b2 tetramer, the
mutants, the DPG binding, etc. This could be a communal effort where
various people volunteered for different 'cards' !! - e.g. what do you
get out of the 'SOURCE' card, the 'CRYST' cards and so on.

This is a briliant idea! (of course they all are... :-)
