Steve Cooper, The Scorpion King writes 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? Mike Berkowitz (checking my boots and sleeping bag for scorpions) Guess?
