    Hi
    Im just wondering if anybody has any experience of writing reviews. Im doing my final year project and its about using protein A on a chromatography coloumn to detect antibodies. I have to hand up a list of headings to my superviser tomorrow and i have nothing done. i know you start with abstract and introduciton but after that i have no ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

    you'll get a fair idea from reading the literature. especially from a good review article.

    the basic layout is introduction, relevant sections and perhaps subsections, and then a conclusion. you may also find that the abstract will be easiest to write at the end (though of course you may have to have a proposal to hand up in advance).

    general sections might be mode of action, uses and applications, previous methods, recent advances in the literature, a comparison of research vs current industrial methods. just break it into logical chunks.

    Beyond that, you're on your own, if you're having serious problems with the layout and the topic, talk to your supervisor, the majority of them are dead helpful.
