They'll turn me into a biochemist yet.

Chalk up another triumph for Mike's crazy technical skills...

See that big fat band all by itself in the right-most lane? That there is pure BluB protein from Rhodospirillum rubrum. It's also one metric buttload of the stuff, which means lots of good juicy experiments to do! The only problem in the whole wide world is that the stuff doesn't seem to like my elution buffer and crashed out after a couple of hours, but that's no big deal. I can make more and dialyze it into something friendlier.

Now, now I'm getting somewhere.
