In August, I went on holidays...... in
Ok, back to work I went to
In between all this travelling, we have prepared more protein samples for a new EPR experiment which will take place in October. We also had meetings with the head of the Raman Spectroscopy group here at the ITQB, Smilja Todorovic, in order to discuss the possibility of doing some experiments with my proteins. Raman spectroscopy seems very complicated to me, and they need very concentrated samples for the analysis (~ 30 mg/ml - fortunately only 2 µl), but it will give us more information about the state and nature of the metal centres of my proteins which is one of the main goals of the project. I think now I’m really benefitting from performing my project a multidisciplinary institute, having the luxury of just going up one floor to find a fully equipped Raman spectroscopy lab and all the expertise you need to get the experiment done and the results analysed. I really look forward to learn more about this technique.
And next week I'll finally start learning the Portuguese language at the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa. It will be a busy autumn :-)
