MCB120L Crew

History:

MCB120L Crew was founded during Fong-Quan Pledge Class by Matthew Lee and Peter Hoang. The crew includes all Fong-Quan Pledges in the Spring 2006 MCB120L course taught by Dr. Kenneth Hilt. The members included:

• Maggi Leung - BSA
• Matthew Lee - Alkaline Phosphotase
• Jeannie Chu - Lysozyme
• Peter Hoang - Lactate Dehydrogenase

MCB120L Crew brought unity among the four members, especially when it came to studying for midterms and lab practicals or eating pho or Japanese food after lab. After spending 12+ hours in lab and lecture with one another per week, they became best of friends and more importantly, expert pipetters, gel-loaders, and assayers for enzymatic activity and protein concentration. Best frENZYMES forever! :)

Two important mottos of MCB120L Crew are:

• pH = pKa + log(b/a)
• IU/ml = [Abs/e*l]10^6*volume of assay*volume of sample/(volume of enz. * dilution factor)

Famous Quotes:

• "If I was an idiot...I would let the column go dry." - Hilt
• "are you with me?" - Hilt
• "Cool?" - Hilt
• "cute." - Hilt
• "I want you all to be thinking at a higher level." - Hilt
• "OhKay GuYs." - Ivanka Dilova impersonation during lab practical #2.
• "I heart pipetting." - classical 120L saying.
• "This is where you come from." - Hilt, in reference to the volume of enzyme that gave us that certain amount of activity. (Where the hell do we come from?)
