Question

Can someone help me? I'm finishing my science project and I need help with the Abstract.

Answer 3

In order to write an abstract we would have to know the full content of your project/thesis.
An abstract is basically your whole thesis described shortly so we can determine if it is relevant for us to read. A usual an abstract takes the following form:

1) What did we know before your investigation and why is it being of interest?
2) How did you investigate the topic, what was your hypothesis?
3) What was the results?
4) What do you conclude?

Answer 4

Keep it short and keep it simple, an example of an abstract I wrote some time ago could be:

\(\color{red}{\textrm{With protein structure determination being a vital aspect in the study of proteins}}\)\(\color{red}{\textrm{the investigation of fast and accurate methods has been studied intensely}}\)\(\color{red}{\textrm{over the past year. It has been demonstrated that the use of chemical shifts}}\)\(\color{red}{\textrm{are able to assist Monte Carlo simulations predicting the structure of proteins}}\)\(\color{blue}{\textrm{Through the use of Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations using the PROFASI force field}}\)\(\color{blue}{\textrm{it has
been investigated whether or not the individual chemical shifts contribute equally}}\)\(\color{blue}{\textrm{to the structure prediction of GB3.}} \color{green}{\textrm{We here demonstrate that all the secondary structure}}\)\(\color{green}{\textrm{of GB3 has been predicted and orientated correctly using the PROFASI force field only}}\)\(\color{green}{\textrm{assisted by CA or HA chemical shifts
alone having a RMSD of ~4.7Å correspond to}}\)\(\color{green}{\textrm{the tight packing of GB3 when compared to the
structure solved by NMR spectroscopy.}}\)\(\color{purple}{\textrm{Furthermore it is shown different chemical shift combinations
tend to show synergy}}\)\(\color{purple}{\textrm{in the structure prediction of GB3.}}\)

\(\color{red}{\textrm{What did we know before your investigation and why is it being of interest?}}\)
\(\color{blue}{\textrm{How did you investigate the topic, what was your hypothesis?}}\)
\(\color{green}{\textrm{What was the results?}}\)
\(\color{purple}{\textrm{What did you conclude?}}\)

Answer 5

It's ok now I figured it out myself

Answer 6

Glad you got to figure it out.

Answer 7

I'll give you a medal anyways..
