Compared to a lot of the arts degrees, they're substantially more difficult, but any difficult science easily tops it. Depends 100% on your perspective : ).

Arts degrees? You mean those little pieces of paper you tear off of those little rolls in bathrooms?

o.O What are you doing? Something with silicon I guess...

And what happened before? Wait, don't tell us... let our imagination come up with it:

1. Unplug power supplies to equipment for some reason
2. Replug power supplies, but without UPS
3. Short the building power supply

1. Accidentally hit vacuum chamber with hammer, resulting in explosive decompression

1. Quote this line, word for word: "Uh, it's probably not a problem, probably, but I'm showing a small discrepancy in... well, no, it's well within acceptable bounds again. Sustaining sequence."

I have to do a presentation on Wednesday about resonance raman being used in some study to help show that a certain type of heme protein binds differently to NO and CO which founds the basis for it being used as a heme-based sensor.

I have never used RR and haven't heard of it before. I am reading through some googled stuff explaining RR and such, but can you like very briefly describe the purpose of doing RR versus doing protein crystallization and then analysis via x-ray diffraction or something to obtain information on the structure. And how do you read the spectras? I am looking a whole crap load of spectras in this paper and have no idea what to draw from it. I see the peaks at different frequencies for excitation at a certain wavelength. What does the intensity of the peak mean though (like stronger vibration)?

Also, in the journal paper I am reading, I keep seeing this term: v(Fe-His)
What does that signify? Is it saying "frequency of the Iron Histidine bond"?
Thanks much. T_T
