SCIENCE NEWS =========================================================================== -Protein That Halts Huntington's Disease Found http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=1 A protein developed in the laboratory halts the progression of Huntington's disease in fruit flies, a study by UC Irvine and MIT has found. The study is the first to identify a man-made protein that can stop the development of the disease, and it may help researchers find effective ways to use gene therapy to prevent--or halt--the disease. -Search-and-Destroy Weapon Targets Cancer http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=2 By combining a chemotherapy drug with a sugar that normally helps cancer move through the human body, University of Utah researchers developed a new medication to track down, invade and destroy tumor cells as they spread or metastasize. -Vitamin Megadoses May Help Treat Metabolic Diseases http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=3 Linus Pauling's claim that megadoses of vitamin C can prevent colds remains unproven, yet high doses of some vitamins could play a big role in the treatment of disease and perhaps slow the effects of aging, according to a University of California, Berkeley, biochemist. -Brain Center Searches for Patterns http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=4 Duke University Medical Center researchers have discovered the brain region that automatically watches for patterns in sequences of events, even when the pattern emerges by random happenstance. -FEATURE: Antivirals, Anti-Cancers, and Antibiotics in One Pot http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=5 Panning parts of the chemical universe for compounds that are active against particular biological targets has been an established route to drug discovery since the early days of modern biology. Carbohydrate structures, which surely have important biological activity given the volume of carbohydrates in the body, have lagged behind the fields of protein and nucleic acid recognition. Scripps Research Institute Investigator, Chi-Huey Wong, suspects that times are changing. -FEATURE: Small Wonders http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=6 "The small has become as limitless as the large," declared National Science Foundation (NSF) Director Rita Colwell in her keynote kickoff to the NSF's Small Wonders: Exploring the Vast Potential of Nanoscience conference held in Washington, D.C. This very upbeat conference is in marked contrast to the skepticism expressed only a decade ago about the prospects of engineering devices at the scale of nanometers--one-billionth of a meter--just slightly larger than many atoms. -FEATURE: The Protein With A Topological Twist http://www.bio.com/Redirectors/LinkRedirect4_09.jhtml?link=7 It was in the 1960s that scientists first discovered the use of Oldenlandia affinis as a uteroactive agent that strengthens contractions and shortens delivery. O. affinis is a perennial weed with a woody root and blue-violet flowers, and is found in the tropical zones of Africa and western Asia. The main uteractive agent turned out to be a small protein named after the traditional medicine from which it was extracted: kalata B1.

No one at our end subscribed this list to the Bio.com newsletter, even though it says the subscription is "per your request" (but who ever believes that?). The same goes for other bulk mailings that have appeared on the Bulletin Board. We have requested that these companies remove us from their lists, by contacting them directly, not by using the link they send, which could result in the Bulletin Board being added to every other spammer's list. Even though the messages may be interesting or useful, these companies should not be using the Bulletin Board as a conduit for automated "announcements" but should allow individuals to subscribe to their lists directly. So far, Bio.com has not responded, so we will be blocking them. I know that, as the list becomes more popular, it will become a magnet for every spammer out there. Without our active effort, it could become like most of the unmoderated newsgroups out there. We're not at that point yet, but someday we may end up moderating every message coming through. Cheers.

I'm happy to say that I have been accepted to two programs (KGI http://www.kgi.edu and ASU http://www.asu.edu/compbiosci) and waitlisted on one (Rutgers http://biomaps.rutgers.edu) I now have a very difficult decision to make and I'm pressed for time. I have to respond to KGI on April 19th. I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on the following 1) Would it be okay to ask for more time to decide (since I'm still waiting on Rutgers) or is that frowned upon? 2) Masters vs. PhD. I know this really comes down to a personal decision, but I was would like to hear other people's opinions on whether getting a terminal Master's (KGI or ASU) or a PhD (Rutgers) would be more advantageous? I eventually want to work in industry, probably pharmaceuticals. I'm interested in sequence alignment, homology modeling, drug design and protein engineering. However, I have had no background in research and I am unsure if I would do well in it. Master's seems appealing because I could try it out and get an idea if I might want to do thesis work. However, I've read that doing a terminal Master's wouldn't shorten any time if I continued on to a PhD and I wouldn't want to be in school any longer than I'd have to. However, is a PhD necessary in the field of bioinformatics? Idealy, I would like to become a project manager sometime in the future or at least be able to spearhead my own research/projects and not always be working for/under someone else. I imagine this would be possible with a Master's, but might take more time for me to prove myself? 3. KGI vs. ASU The program at Keck has been around since 2000 and the school was specifically built with the focus of bioscience in mind. I was also awarded about half tuition scholarship. And it's about an hour away from LA. I'm from NYC and I'm used to living in a big city/urban environment. ASU on the other hand has been around longer, the school itself. The program is new and this is the first official year. Many professors and students have warned me to be cautious of new programs like these. However, I believe there have been students who have been doing bioinformatics type work prior to the program becoming official. I've also been rewarded an Out of State tuition waiver, so basically I'd pay in state tuition which is really low. They are also possible considering me for an RAship. However, Tempe/Phoenix certainly doesn't compare to LA or NYC. 4) Finally, does anyone know of any websites, forums, or other lists that might be more appropriate for these sort of academic questions specifically relating to the field of bioinformatics? So far, I've scoured the net and I've found a lot of PhD and general grad school sites, and I've even posted on USNews.com but I haven't really been able to find anyone else applying to bioinformatics programs for this year. I apologize for the length of this email, but I really need advice. Thanks for your time and any help you can provide.

There is a link provided to Pfam (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Pfam/getacc?PF00946 in your case). Once the Pfam entry comes up, go to the "Alignment" section, and use JALview (if you have a Java-enabled browser) to see conserved regions along the sequence. You can also download various multiple alignment formats for your own MSA viewer. This will give you conserved regions within the family. Of course, there is a plethora of stuff you can do, like finding motifs, etc. You should consult an expert, a book, or both :) David Mount's `Bioinformatics', and Arthur Lesk's `Introduction to Bioinformatics' are my favorite recommendations to people coming into the field from the Biology side. Damien Counsell did a smashing job in the bioinformatics.org FAQ (http://bioinformatics.org/faq). Look there too. As for structure based information: if there is no clear structural homologue, and you are as you said new to the field, I would not proceed in that venue without some expert looking over my shoulder.

But, what I did know was that I wanted to enter a field of study that would combine the incredible proccesses of molecular biology/genetics with the power and utter joy of computer science. Now that I know that there is a branch of science, a relatively new branch of science, that deals with what I have just mentioned, I am extremely overjoyed. To learn more about bioinformatics, I have decided to do a science fair project. I believe that since bioinformatics is a relatively new field, there is great opportunity to be innovative and successful. That's what I would like to do. I have my mind set on what I want to do in terms of computer science. I want to write a neural network to do the advanced calculations that might be required for this project. I am currently reading into neural network theory. I am also looking for informative resources on bioinformatics and neural network implementations. Although neural networks is an imporant part of my project, I can use all the ideas/information I could get. Please send me any ideas, or your point of view - even if you don't specialize in neural networks. The areas I would find interesting are evolution, genetics, mutations, reactions, brain functioning, chaos theory, or any other biological process at the molecular level. What I know about some of these areas may be very limited, but I know that they are VERY interesting. Another thing. Since I am in the very early stages of brainstorming, the neural network thing doesn't have to stay. If there are other more advanced/efficient ways of sorting through data or predicting results, let me know. I want to write it myself though (c++ is the language I'm most familar w/ btw, and the one I would want to use). -Tarak Upadhyaya _________________________________________________________________ Join the world?s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com From sravan_111 at rediffmail.com Thu Apr 18 00:06:52 2002 From: sravan_111 at rediffmail.com (sravan sravan) Date: 18 Apr 2002 04:06:52 -0000 Subject: [BiO BB] (no subject) Message-ID: <20020418040652.28591.qmail@webmail3.rediffmail.com> An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

References: <20020418040652.28591.qmail@webmail3.rediffmail.com> Message-ID: <3CBF051F.7681616B@udel.edu> Hi recently i have attended a talk given by Matthew Tirrell Dean, College of Engineering Professor, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering University of California, Santa Barbara May be their work might be useful to U they are working on CREATING FUNCTIONAL PEPTIDE ARCHITECTURES AT INTERFACES Short peptide sequences, derived from whole proteins, can be useful synthetic agents for conferring a specific biological function to a material surface. Their ability to do this depends on delivering them to the surface in a biologically recognizable form, that is in a spatial configuration that is not too different from that adopted by the peptide in the whole protein. Most functional proteins have secondary and tertiary levels of structure that are essential to their activities; peptides have simpler but no less important structures. In our work, we have focussed on peptides derived from extracellular matrix proteins. We have found that attaching synthetic lipid tails to peptides fragments gives them two very useful properties for surface modification. The hydrophobic tails give rise to a self-assembly capacity enabling these molecules to organize into membrane, monolayer and bilayer structures. Less expected is that this level of self-assembly induces a second level in the peptide headgroup. Peptides from alpha-helical and triple-helical regions of protein are induced by the lipid tails to form protein-like secondary structures and therefore to have more effective biological activity. /ravi sravan sravan wrote: > sir, > I am a bioinformatics student .we got a project on hydrophobicity > based structure design. > kindly sujjest me how to approach towards the task. > thanking you. > sravan > > _______________________________________________ > BiO_Bulletin_Board maillist - BiO_Bulletin_Board at bioinformatics.org > http://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bio_bulletin_board -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
