Sorry for the confusion, the report was uploaded into the supporting files under Bao's account. The PDF file is under the document "Interaction Report". I have also attached the PDF and LibreOffice files here.</div>

Sounds good, Bao, Sophia, can you please Cc me on the report you will send out?<br>

lipids. Sophia is planning to run these experiments at the end of the week, so we should have further results early next week.<br>

but the total signal from your protein is not as clean as it could be if the labeling had been more efficient. Just so you know... here is a picture:<br>
