hypothesis: Phenylalanine causes the protein to be red
Experiment: We configured two amino acid sequences, one containing Phenylalanine. In the other amino acid sequence we replaced the Phenylalanine with Alanine. By using these two amino acid sequences, we were able to observe color.
Results:

The RED amino acid!

The white amino acid!
Conclusion:Phenylalanine makes an amino acid red.

Hypothesis: Specific amino acids are related to specific colors.
Test: An orange protein was typically created by combining a red and yellow protein. Place the amino acid associated with red (phenylalanine) and the amino acid associated with yellow (tryptophan) in the hydrophobic core of a single protein.
Result: A single orange protein.

Hypothesis: Phenylalanine needs to be present in the hydrophobic blob to show red


Experiment: We created proteins that had phenylalanine in the blob and did not have phenylalanine in the blob.
Result: We found out that when phenylalanine was part of the hydrophobic flower blob the protein was red.
Conclusion: The hypothesis is accurate.

Hypothesis: We need 7 hydrophobic molecules in a flower-shaped blob with a 4 hydrophilic molecule ring attached to it and a hydrophilic tail in order to show color.


Experiment: We designed 2 proteins with 7 hydrophobic molecules and attached to it a hydrophilic ring and a hydrophilic tail.
Result: When the hydrophobic molecules were in a flower-shaped blob, there was color.
Conclusion: The hypothesis is correct.

Hypothesis: Proteins with serine in it are purple


Experiment: We made 2 different proteins and added serine.
Result: The first protein we added serine to became purple. The second one did not.
Conclusion: The hypothesis is inaccurate. Serine doesn’t change the color of the protein.

Hypothesis: At least 6 hydrophilic amino acids are needed, in order to show a color.


Experiment: We created molecules with 6 and 7 hydrophilic molecules.
Result: We found it was colorless.
Conclusion: The hypothesis is incorrect. Proteins with 6 or 7 hydrophilic molecules do not necessarily have color.

Hypothesis: At least 6 hydrophilic amino acids are required for any color to show.
Experiment: We constructed a protein consisting of a hydrophilic group of 6 amino acids and 7 hydrophobic amino acids. We added and subtracted hydrophilic amino acids. Under 6, no color showed. Over 6, color returned.
Result: When there were 6 total philic acids, color was shown. When there were under 6, we saw no color.
Conclusion: Our hypothesis was accurate.
