Following Thursdays meeting I have been researching into Quorum sensing peptides that are unique to Staphylococcus aureus. After consulting the literature I have noted the presence of four Quorum sensing systems. They are agr, sae, artRS and SrrAB. The relevant papers are linked to below. Previously I discovered that there were four different autoinducing peptides in Staphylococcus aureus. However it has now become clear that these are indeed unique to S. aureus, and are not present (in the same sequence) in any other member of the Staph species. The agrC receptors also have different corresponding conformational groups. It may be possible to use all four AIP's and agrC's as a S. aureus biosensor.

At this point I went on to retrieve the sequences using the NCBI and EBI databases.

Input table malfunctioning again, ****. Had to move InputTypesListener after other listeners in MakeBehaviourPanel for it to work. Moved the method for creating buttons with icons to the PanelFactory, though it's not a panel. Probably should rename.

Moved the Edge panel to the top of the Palette. Made a shiny glyph for deleting things. Aligned all the icons to the left.

Working on deleting elements and edges now... THIS should be fun with the truth table. That thing's as finicky as a wet cat.
