I didn't actually have an abstract for this report, but if I wanted one I'd do it like this. Note the special font size and placement.

\section{Introduction and Background}

%Man, looking back on this I'm remembering how much I wasn't a fan of the biochem module...
\textbf{Glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR) synthetase} is an enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of \textbf{phosphoribosylamine (PRA)}, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), and glycine (G) into glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR), adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP), and inorganic phosphates (Pi) (see Figure 1). GAR is also referenced by its gene name: PurD. The proposed mechanism for this conversion involves phosphorylation of glycine's carboxylate group by ATP, creating a phosphoanhydride which is susceptible to nucleophilic attack by the amine on PRA. With a K$_{eq}$ of 15, the reaction is reversible.\\

\section{Bibliographies}

\textsc{Note: the parameter in curly braces after $\backslash$begin\{thebibliography\} should 
be the widest label you use so \LaTeX{} can size the indentation appropriately.}\\

BibTeX is another bibliography typsetting option, but overkill for most people.\cite{sokalhoax}\\
