Fine Tuning Before Dr. Jez, PhD of Biology at Washington University in St.

Louis and his team were crystallizing a protein sequence to be able to look at it in three-dimensional form which allows for a better view of variation in the sequences (Lutz). In trying to crystallize C. elegans , a free-living nematode, or microscopic roundworm which can cause disease in people and livestock, the discovery was made. They couldnt get a good sample of the nematode so they looked to homologous organisms to take samples and one of them was the malaria parasite (Brooke-Nottingham). After crystallization and study, it was found that the malaria parasite had a protein sequence that humans do not make and the parasite cant complete a life-cycle without making it perfect for a vaccine (Ani) After "Dr. Jez, PhD of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis and his team were crystallizing a protein sequence" to be able to look at it in three-dimensional form which allows for a better view of variation in the sequences (Lutz).

As an introduction into my presentation, the first piece was a little lengthy. It had some wordiness issues, as well as a little overuse of the to-be verbs. I made the excess material more concise, and moved it to another part of the presentation. Too much information can be a little overwhelming, especially if the information isnt concise. By tweaking the piece a little, the information can become clearer, and easily conveyed to the audience. This is a skill that I havent really ever struggled with.
