For those of you tired of searching for ET, here is another
way to burn up those extra CPU cycles.  Stanford University
has a project that allows one to design virtual proteins
that may help in:

  - engineering new proteins for medical therapy
  - designing new pharmaceuticals
  - assigning functions to the dozens of new genes being
    sequenced every day
  - understanding protein evolution

So far, I've designed the following types:

NEUROTOXIN (TS1) FROM BRAZILIAN SCORPION TITYUS SERRULATUS  <<<
---------------
CYTOCHROME C=5= (OXIDIZED)
UNLIGANDED ABL TYROSINE KINASE SH3 DOMAIN
MAJOR COLD SHOCK PROTEIN (CSPB)
OXIDIZED PLASTOCYANIN FROM SYNECHOCOCCUS SP.
ALPHA-*DENDROTOXIN
HIV-1 CAPSID PROTEIN DIMERIZATION DOMAIN AT 2.6A RESOLUTION
SCORPION TOXIN BJXTR-IT   <<< --------------------------------
GAMMA B CRYSTALLIN C-TERMINAL DOMAIN
TETRAMERIZATION DOMAIN OF THE SHAKER POTASSIUM CHANNEL
ATX1 METALLOCHAPERONE PROTEIN
BETA-PUROTHIONIN
GLUTAREDOXIN MUTANT
ALPHA COBRATOXIN
TRYPSIN INHIBITOR
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lot of time you're spending on scorpion toxins.  Should Stan and others at
Allegro be worried?
