    Today I finished my first assignment of the protein bioinformatics project. I was able to learn about the sequence, function, pathology, and interactions of my assigned protein. My protein is P19835 Bile Salt activated Lipase (BLSS) . It's function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of different substrates and is an important protein for the digestion of dietary lipids. It is has a chain of 753 amino acids and weighs approximately 79,322 Da. It interacts with Galectin-10 which is an important factor for anergy and suppressive functions of CD25-positive regulatory T-cells. BLSS is also involved with maturity onset diabetes of the young 8 with exocrine dysfunction (MODY8). It is caused by a mutation in the CEL gene. I am looking forward to learning more about my protein.

    Hello Cameron,

    The information you gathered is good. I would however present it in more of a list format for easy reading.

    Most of science is about how information is conveyed.

    Example:

    Protein

    P19835 Bile Salt activated Lipase (BLSS)

    Function

    It's function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of different substrates and is an important protein for the digestion of dietary lipids.

    Size

    753 amino acids

    mW

    ~ 79,322 kDa

    Then go into what it does . . . .

    Keep up the good work.

    Chad

This semester I am going to try and finish a few games and practice on other aspects of programming and modeling. This first project I am working on is a 2-D game and I am going for a pixel art style so it should be easier to animate and create items for the game. This first week I watched a tutorial got a nice pixel editor and started creating a tiles to use for the game. I created tiles that are repeatable without showing too much of a pattern. This helps make levels easier because I am able to reuse textures and make maps without putting in too much effort. I also created dungeon walls which are also repeatable. I then opened unity and started creating a tilemap which is a built in unity function which allows me to place down the new tiles I created on a grid and snaps them into place allowing for a quick map editor. I am just creating a small level to test mechanics and get the core gameplay functions working. I hope to create a few levels and have a dungeon crawler rogue lite game...

  Bile salt activated lipase Cameron Siqueiros Glendale Community College   Protein – P19835 (Bile salt-activated lipase)   Description - Bile salt-activated lipase is a major triglyceride, cholesterol ester and vitamin ester hydrolytic enzyme contained within pancreatic and lactating mammary gland secretions. It requires bile salts for activation. The biological process of bile salt activated lipase is known as lipid metabolic process.   Molecular function – hydrolase activity acting on ester bonds.   Function – to catalyze the hydrolysis of a wide range of substrates including cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, lysopholipids, di-acylglycerols, tri-acylglycerols, and fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids or (FAHFAS). Preferentially hydrolyzes FAHFAs with the ester bond further away from the carboxylate. Unsaturated FAHFAs are hydrolyzed quicker than saturated FAHFA. Plays an important role in complete digestion of dietary lipids and their...
