Hypothesis: We think that interaction between purple and red will produce purple.
Experiment: We combined a protein sequence that is purple with the red one.
Result: Sequence Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Phe Arg Gln (purple) x Sequence Ile Val Leu Ile Leu Arg Asp Arg Asp Arg Asp Pro Ala Cys Phe (red) ===> Purple
Conclusion: the hypothesis is right.

The characteristics needed to make purple include a blob shape and the number of hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids are 6 and 7 respectively.

Each sequence was the same except one amino acid changed towards the end of the sequence
Hypothesis:
If you mix a light color with a dark color amino acid you will get a dark amino acid
The Experiment:
We designed a blue protein
The Result:
The protein was blue
The Conclusion:
The hypothesis is correct because a dark protein i guess was dominant

Hypothesis; since from other experiments we think that from reality we know that Purple is a mixture of red + blue
Experiment: We chose the amino acids of Tyr (Blue) and Phe (red) did the same type of sequence of hydrophobic blob + a hydrophilic tail to get a color.
Results: Tyr Phe Ile Leu Ile Leu Ile Arg Arg Arg Arg Arg Arg

Conclusion: now we can assume that purple is created the same way as how we mix colors to paint or color, with Phe(red) and Tyr(blue)

Met Ser Asn Arg His lle Leu Leu Val Phe Cys Arg Gln - red
Met Ser Asn Arg His lle Leu Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln - green
hypothesis:
When the red and green proteins interact it would make a black protein
The Experiment:
cause interaction between red and green
The Result:
The protein was black
The Conclusion:
The hypothesis was correct, green and red will interact to make a black protein

Hypoth: cross a pure green with another pure green will produce a green
Amino Acid Sequence
Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln X Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln = Met Ser Asn Arg His Ile Leu Leu Val Tyr Trp Arg Gln

Experiment: Test hypoth
Results: Obtained a green
Conclusion: Hypoth is correct

Hypothesis: Since in reality red + yellow makes orange i think we can put the red amino acid sequence and mix it up with the yellow amino acid sequence, we would come up with orange.
Experiment: We replaced Tyr in the green model to Phe (red from another group) to see if we get orange from yellow and red.
Results:
Conclusion: we made ORANGE!

Hypothesis: Since we know that in real life that mixing colors of blue and yellow creates green, we decided to give it a try and see what we come up with.
Experiment: We replaced either Leu or Ile, whatever came after the Tyr(blue) or Trp(yellow) to make green so our amino acid sequence is Tyr Trp Ile Leu Ile Leu Ile Arg Arg Arg Arg Arg Arg
Results: 

Conclusion: We made green, so as long as tyr and trp are within the hydrophobic blob of 7 we make green so doesn’t matter the order as long as they are within the blob.

Hypothesis: We believe that Tyr makes blue so from our last post we think that by replacing Trp with Tyr we would make blue.
Experiment: Our amino acid sequence is Tyr Ile Leu Ile Leu Ile Leu Arg Arg Arg Arg Arg Arg
Results: BLUE !

Conclusion: Tyr makes blue in our amino acid sequence.

Hypothesis: The PHE in the blob makes the protein red.
Experiment: We removed the PHE from the KKKKKKLLLLLLF, making it KKKKKKLLLLLL
Result: The protein changed to white when the PHE was removed.
Conclusion: Our hypothesis was correct, the removal of PHE resulted in a white protein, therefore PHE makes a protein red.
