The energy that light uses to carry information was used by researches to measure the effects that light had proteins. These probes tracked the way that the proteins bind, and it will further inform scientists on the function of the most abundant proteins, and eventually how proteins interact with drugs. Prof Parker says, “It’s a new step in the development of optical probes in chemistry and in observing the interaction between medical drugs and proteins.” When the scientists observed the effect that serum albumin (the most prominent protein), they discovered that the polarised light had intriguing characteristics. The rotation of the light was measured; it was discovered that probes omit circularlary polarised light, which inverts protein binding.

3 aspects well presented:
*well presented
*right to the point
*very interesting topic
2 suggestions:
* you could talk more about the inversion of the protein biding
* you could explain a little about how circularly polarized light works
Impress fact:
*It was very interesting knowing that light contains proteins.
1. interesting topic
2. to the point
3. easily understood
1.explain how polarized light works/what it is
2. explain the process of inverting the light and reaction with drugs
1. i didnt know that light could work this way

- interesting topic
- well written
- striaghte to the point
2 suggestions
- explain more anout polarized light
- talk more about the protein binding
1 impress fact
- It was very interesting to learn that light contains proteins.
3 aspects of the review that were particularly well presented;
1) nice and short
2) interesting topic
3) not difficult to understand
2 suggestions on how the review could have been made even better;
1) Explain a little more about the reactions with the drugs
2) Also, explain how the light works
1 were you impressed by/ or learn from reading the article and its review.
Did not know that light contains proteins.
1. used good language
2. got to the point
3. didnt get too into detail
1. you could have explained what polarized light is and how it works
2. you could have explained the protein binding
2. topic was very interesting
