Don't forget the Molecule of the Month articles (if there is one for the specific protein), I know the invitational tests asked about one of the Molecule of the Month articles.

I've only seen this once on a non-MSOE test. Is the one you're referring to written by MSOE? I really don't want to spend time on those D:

The two invitationals I went had a non-MSOE test and then an MSOE test, both of which mentioned information found in the Molecule of the Month article on G-Proteins. But luckily the regional protein has no mention of a Molecule of the Month article referring to the DOPA Decarboxylase protein. :D

G-protein and Dopa decarboxylase is officially listed on the MSOE site, both with a much more detailed research paper. The Molecule of the Month is basically a broad summary. Different competition levels have a paper in addition to sepiapterin reductase that should be read. What I was referring to was a random molecule of the month, something about an antibiotic and gram-positive bacteria.
Edit: Actually, it's really surprising it didn't have DOPA Decarboxylase, considering that was the regional protein.

I'm going to rebuild my protein for the state tournament. One of the problems I had when building my model was the marker kept coming off. I don't know why, as I used common sharpie markers. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this?
