These are molecules under study by members of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Chemistry-Biology Interface Program. Many of the molecules we study are featured at the Molecular Playground (see also Molecular Playground in Proteopedia). Follow the links below to read nontechnical descriptions, in Proteopedia, of these molecules.
UMass CBI Members, add your molecules to the list (which is alphabetical by CBI research mentor); follow the instructions below the list.
Fall 2013: CBI Molecules are due 12/4/13 and should be added at the TOP of the list from your lab. Label it as "in progress" until you are finished, and then as "New 2013" or "Revised 2013". For those editing an existing CBI Molecule, start from that entry so that it retains the full author list of all authors that contributed (or include credits to the original page and authors if it does not).

InstructionsInstructions
The goal is for students to work collaboratively to create one excellent CBI Molecule for each CBI research group, to be featured on the CBI website.
Fall 2013: Complete steps 1-2 by 10/18, and bring your computer to the CBI Molecule Workshop on Wed 10/23 in ISB 321.
A successful CBI Molecule will be an interesting, nontechnical description of a molecule related to your group's research. It should not be super long, but instead have multiple green scenes. Green scenes should clearly show an interesting feature and should be attractive. Use the green scenes to help you make interesting points about the molecule (do not try to describe every feature of the molecule). It's great if you can end with a brief statement about how it relates to your group's research goals.
1. If you don't already have one, request a Proteopedia account and log in.
2. Read through the rest of the instructions and look at any existing CBI Molecules from your research group. Talk with other Chalk Talk students in your research group and think about how you can make a new or improved CBI Molecule related to your group's research. Develop ideas for the scenes you wish to show. You will work learn how to make scenes during the workshop.
3. Get started working in Proteopedia by using the links at Help:Contents. Make yourself a sandbox page: Enter "User:Your Name/Sandbox 1" (omit quotes) in the search box, then follow instructions to edit this page. Practice entering text, inserting a structure window with scrolling text (green 4-square button on the right), and creating a green scene. You can look at other Proteopedia pages in edit mode to see how different effects (like colored text) are achieved (but this won't show you how the scene effects are made).
4. For those editing an existing CBI Molecule, start from that entry so that it retains the full author list of all authors that contributed. You are encouraged to collaborate on the CBI Molecules, but everyone will need to do some editing of the molecule so that they each appear as authors on the final list. If you are the sole student from your group enrolled in Chalk Talk and have not previously made a CBI Molecule, try to convince another group member who has previously made a CBI Molecule (see list above) to join us for the workshop so that you can work together.
5. Your final pages should be called "Molecular Playground/your molecule" and should have links on this CBI Molecule page -- put the new ones first on the list from your research group. Label them "in progress" until you are finished, and then "new 2013" or "revised 2013".
