Report requirements
- Report submittal format
- Size of your lab report file submitted MUST be less than 20 MB
- Post only pdf, with code included in the pdf at the end, not separately
- Include last name of each group member in the filename of the pdf you post. I would rather spend time carefully grading your report than renaming your files because every other group named theirs "DNA Report Part 1" or the like.
- Report your signal to noise measurement and comment.
- Plot your favorite melting curves.
- For at least one of those curves, use your code from the simulation to perform a least squares fit and comment on the results.
- What values do you obtain for ΔH and ΔS? Do you trust these values? How would you adjust the model to make a better fit to your data?
