2002-04-16 Symmetry of Proteins

I found a very interesting article on Symmetry of Proteins in American Scientist, the journal of σ&#xi;. The author also has a nice web page / paper (local copy) on the subject. (Interestingly, the Biophysics Annual Review website identifies me as ``Lund University Libraries'' and grants me access to the full text. Nice!) His molecule of the month series is quite interesting too. (For instance, consider Alcohol Dehydrogenase: Here's a toast to alcohol dehydrogenase. While recovering from the excesses of New Year's Eve, we might ponder the enzyme that ceaselessly battles the champagne that we consume.) Gosh, I need a biology textbook.

Hmm, whether I will be returning to the U.S. or to Sweden at the end of the summer will be determined only after I have left Sweden.
