Part X: Design experiments to test putative small molecule binders
In your laboratory notebook, complete the following:
- Consider aspects of the experimental approach that could be improved.
- What steps might you do differently to improve the results?
- Consider two potential next step experiments that you might perform to test putative small molecule binders identified from the SMM screen. For each experiment:
- What specifically will the experiment test?
- How will this experiment bolster the results from the current research project?
- Is the experiment a next step? Does the experimental approach make assumptions beyond the data acquired from the SMM screen?
- Include some information regarding a method that could be used to complete the experiment. What controls should be included?
- Consider the implications of your research.
- How does your research address the knowledge gap / research question? This should tie back to the information provided in the Introduction of your Research article.
- How does your research advance the field of anti-malarial drug discovery? Don't overreach, but do state what is now known because of your work.
