AGKNOWLEDGMENTS
We would firstly like to thank LaTrobe University for allowing us into your environment for the two weeks. We would also like to thank the teachers for giving us help when we needed it and guidance, Dr Christopher Adda, Dr Robin Anders, all the lectururers who informed us, the librarians who put up with our hopelessness at finding books and [sometimes] told us to be quiet. Finally, we would like to thank the dept. of Biochemistry for housing us throughout this program. Thank you. This wouldn't have been possible without your help.
