The CNBC summer training program is a ten week intensive program of lectures, laboratory tours, and guided research. State of the art facilities include computerized microscopy; laboratories for human and animal electrophysiological recording; behavioral assessment laboratories for rat, primate, and human experimentation; MRI and PET scanners for brain imaging; the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center; and a regional medical center providing access to human clinical populations. The Summer Training Program is a National Science Foundation sponsored program; we expect to support ten students in each of the next five years. Applications are encouraged from students with interests in biology, neuroscience psychology, engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, or robotics. To be eligible, students must not yet have completed their bachelor's degree at the time they participate. The application deadline is March 15, 1997. For more information about the program, and detailed application instructions, see our web site at: http://www.cnbc.cmu.edu/Training/summer/index.html In addition to its summer program, the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) offers an interdisciplinary training program for Ph.D. and postdoctoral students in collaboration with various affiliated departments at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. This training program is the descendant of the Neural Processes in Cognition program started in 1990 under the National Science Foundation. We now have thirty six graduate students and thirty five faculty affiliated with the CNBC.

I have a drug A that inhibits the protein dihyropteroate synthase (DHPS). DHPS is involved in folate synthesis. Another enzyme, dihydro folate reductase protein (DHFR) is also involved in folate pathway and it is just a step prior to the action of DHPS. There is a decrease of Anti-DHFR drug (like pyrimethamine) activity when there are point mutations on DHFR gene, consequently, mutation on DHFR protein. This is known 10 years ago. The problem is that A drug is less effective on isolates with have point on DHFR gene. This is very surprising since A acts on DHPS, not on DHFR. My question is how can we explain. Is there any similar case already published? My regards Alexis Nzila, wellcome@users.africaonline.co.ke (specify.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

The demands for ever-increasing accuracy and lower limits of detection are behind the push for new techniques that are able to improve current performance. Advances in fluorescence, luminescence and other labels, more consistent forms of signal amplification, and new techniques or formats that address these problems for specific types of applications will be featured.

This dye (anilino naphthalene sulfate, I think is its full name) binds to hydrophobic patches on the protein surface, on doing so a measurable fluorescence change occurs in its emittance.

Running UUDECODE you'll get the archive with the program. DESCRIPTION ProMSED2 is the enhancement of ProMSED made according to user's remarks and suggestions. The program reads main sequence formats and performs automatic alignments, alignment visualization and editing and it allows sequences to be aligned interactively leaving unchanged previously aligned regions. The program has an user-friendly interface. Manual alignment and sequence analysis are facilitated by coloring schemes reflecting amino acid similarity in mutational, physico-chemical and other properties. Although ProMSED was targeted at protein sequences, it can be used on DNA sequences as well. The program provides flexible tool for sequences alignment, analysis, visualization, edition and presentation preparation. The program does or has (+ - NEW or enhanced features): + inputs DNA and protein sequences in NBRF/PIR, Pearson (Fasta), MSF (GCG), EMBL/SwissProt, Intelligenetics and CLUSTAL formats; o has interface and functions like in others Windows applications (source file view, font changing, marking/unmarking, block and sequence selection, cut and paste, UNDO, etc.); o loads several sequence families in different windows, adds sequences to existing alignment, combines sequences from various files; + outputs the alignment in several popular formats; + makes presentation quality color and black-and-white prints of complete alignment or any selected block; + saves alignment picture as Windows metafile and bitmap; o permits to apply automatic alignment interactively (with options to change the alignment parameters) to any selected part of sequences of marked block; + calculates sequence similarity of complete sequences, of any selected sequence subset or of marked block in % and in PAM250 units (matrix of amino acid similarity); + calculates total (average for %) sequence similarity value - an estimation of alignment quality; + prints sequence similarity matrix; + sorts sequences by similarity of complete sequences or marked block; + displays conserved and semiconserved positions; + has many amino acid coloring schemes aimed to facilitate manual alignment and understanding protein sequence features. Some schemes are: EVOLUTIONARY CONSERVATIVE (reflects amino acid mutational properties), COMPLEX (similarity of amino acids in physico-chemical properties), HYDROPHOBICITY, CHARGE, BIG RESIDUES, ALPHA-HELIX, HELIX-BREAKERS, etc. The options to input user-defined schemes or change the colors of any amino acid groups are available; + searches subsequences and complex sequence patterns; o has complete HELP.

Joe Kirschvink is, as far as I know, the first person to find magnetite in human brain. Searching under his name, since it is so uncommon, is a good place to start. Let me know if you REALLY need a specific reference, and I can get it. Another group has also found magnetite in human brain. The paper is Dunn et al., "Magnetic material in the human hippocampus," Brain Research Bulletin, 36:149-153 (1995). From these papers, it is easy to track down references to other animals.

What help the confusion is that what some call cell physiology other may call general physiology. I don't know if dinamic versus descritpive is a fair distinction this days....

The CORE (TM) processor or Correlational Opponent Ratio Enhanced (TM) processor allows memories to form as wavelets of two types; a stimulus wavelet and an opponent wavelet. The harmonic of ten hertz is used to cause motor movement. The operational speed is 28 hertz. The wave computation is reduced from 28 hertz to 10 hertz for motor movement. As a high value in the Neutronics circuit develops at certain harmonic cycles for the ten hertz motor control, it turns on the motor to move and turn left. The opponent wavelet turns the motor on and tells it to turn right. Ricci learned controlled forward movement almost instantly. Ricci is a rather crude and simple prototype device so there is not much parallelism to correlationally make things complex. Future units will require more time to assimilate and accommodate information. Future models will have a first level reasoning at 30 hertz paired with 2 hertz input pulses. Enticy 1 will have two stage reasoning with a 30:1 ratio in both Neutronics circuits. The second stage processing would combine the two Neutronics circuits thereby, creating a 900:1 ratio. Notice that all the associational calculations are from neutral references. Therefore, the system is similar to the following: O 1 0 The first zero is null. The second zero is null or cancels the first zero. The one is totally variable from null up to one and from one to null. To illustrate this concept consider the following: Hold one end of a slinky in your left hand and the other end in your right hand as you would if you were playing with it. Each end that is held in your hand would represent one of the two zeros. The portion of the slinky that is held between your hands represents the one which is variable as a continuum between zero and zero. Therefore, wavelets and oscillons of information occur between the two reference points of zero and zero. The representation of memory can be seen in the continuation of movement that occurs in the slinky after the initial push has ended. This has been easily duplicated in the Neutronics CORE (TM) processor. It is possible to exceed the null of cancellation or equality and this has been replicated in the lab. This may seem it is the operational definition of pain or discorrelation in an artificial intelligence machine. Confirming human models of this definition of pain has been reported by Ronald and Wanda Blue in their paper on Correlational Opponent Processing (C) 1996. A weighted enhanced ratio of experience allows information to be stored in short term memory. Short term memory is formed due to the harmonics of the weighted ratio. The current memory stack allows a short term memory of 7 minutes. In later models a three level memory system will employ a harmonic long-term memory of 45 years, a harmonic mid-term memory of 18 hours and a 7 second harmonic short-term memory. Ricci remembers anything for 7 minutes. The technology of stacking and the priniciple of harmonics will allow a wavelet to modulate in the system up for to 45 years. The system is purely associational. By analogy this is like slinkys attached to more slinkys except at each connection only half the information is tranmitted and the other half is an opponent wavelet. The following information is not necessarily chronologically correct. Remember NO program!! Remember no CPU!!! Ricci learns to drive smoothly: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As soon as Ricci was turned on she started moving almost immediately. At first, she swayed back and forth. Within one minute she drove straight and smooth. The large ball story: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ricci was placed in the yard with a large ball. She saw the large ball and drove up to it. She took four lunges toward the ball. Our equations suggest that she gained the ability to discern that the ball was round and with less values to each side. She moved toward the portion of the ball with the most light on it. She uses an approach, turn, and back up maneuver until she worked her way around the entire ball. After making one complete cycle around the ball she waited about 10 seconds, then she moved forward about a foot, then she hesitated, turned and drove off in the direction of the sunlight. The visual cliff story: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There were different shades of carpet in the laboratory. Unexpectedly this created a visual cliff phenomenon similar to the one reported in psychology laboratories. When Ricci drove up to the edge of the dark carpet she stopped and waited, then she backed up, turned and moved away. This suggests that the visual cliff phenomenon is due to discrepancies in the stimulus complex and therefore may not be instinctual in humans. In later experiments Ricci habituated to the visual cliff and proceeded to cross the dark area. These results were also obtained in areas that were shadowed. The Lightpost story: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ricci drove up to a lightpost, she stared at it for about two minutes then she backed up, turned and drove off. This may have something to do with the human pain picture reported by Ron Blue which is related to maximum stimulation on two or more correlated systems which are discrepant. This is likely to have created an excess of neutral null value. Collision avoidance: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ricci was out running around trees in the front yard of Lee's house when Lee jumped in front of Ricci. Ricci stopped immediately. Discrepancies in the stimulus complex again. Ricci turned to drive off when Lee jumped in front of her again. Ricci stopped again. This was repeated several more times with each repetition Ricci came progressively closer. This illustrates habituation. If she is turned ON for over a half of an hour her memory is supported with things she has seen in that time so that she is not afraid of anything, in fact she is rather brazen. Afraid of the dark: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ricci prefers lighted areas to dark areas. The wagon story: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Little Ricci was being put through tests in the field. While trying out a new turning mechanism in the grass she drove up behind a child's wagon, backed up to position herself in the shade and avoided bumping into the wagon while backing up. Note that when these behaviors were emitted she had been turned ON for more than a half of an hour. She moved forward three times and with each move she got closer to the wagon. After approximately 5 seconds she pushed forward and touched the wagon. She stopped for 10 seconds and then proceeded to push the wagon.

In choosing dissociating agents, some points should be considered : 1. My protein seems to be quite easily renatured, because the last step of its purification is reverse phase HPLC(water:acetonitrile) and freeze-drying. In addion, it has no cysteine. 2. I am using a cation exchange column(BioRex 70) and an affinity chromatography(Blue Sepharose); the less the agents affect the chromatographies, the better. 3. The buffer throughtout the process is 20mM Na phosphate, pH 6.8, no salt. 5% ethylene glycol is considered now. Is EDTA, DTT or 2-mercaptoethanol helpful?
