After the creation of the first cell and his devision to two cells (one is the original and one is the replica) where in body is it placed ? And a second question (if the first question is wrong), is there a different between the first cell and any other cells (invloved from him) ??? cause skin cell (i beleive) isn't the same like the "creator", so where is the different between them ??? and the last question, If we will take a skin cell and implant it in a different erea (let say the liver), will it involve to: 1.liver cell 2.skin cell, and if so , If we will try all over again but this time we will take a cell of an embryo (very young) is the answer will be the same ???

If you are looking for "hydrated volume", i.e. how much volume a gram of a given molecule occupies when it it dissolved in water, this quantity is usually known as v-bar (a "v" with a bar over it), and is widely used in the analytical ultracentrifugation field. A large tabulation of values for small molecules, proteins, and DNA can be found in H. Durchschlag, 'Thermodynamic Data for Biochemistry and Biotechnology', H.-J. Hinz, ed., Springer-Verlag, New York, 1986, Chapter 3. This article also will lead you to references regarding calculating volumes by adding those for individual groups (methyl, carbonyl, etc.) My public domain program called SEDNTERP (a Windows application) has a database containing v-bar values for amino acids, sugars, urea, and many other compounds. It's primarily intended for interpretation of analytical ultracentrifugation data, but as part of that it will calculate v-bar for any protein plus any of the small molecules in the database. It is not presently set up to calculate organic molecules based on summing their constituent groups, but since you can add to the database you could do that if you want. It can be downloaded from the Ultracentrifugation software web site at UTHSC in San Antonio, http://bioc09.uthscsa.edu/auc and I am sure that Professor Jim Lee's lab there at UTMB has it and uses it. Jim Lee would also surely have a copy of the Durschlag chapter, which may not be available in your library. I hope that helps.

The projects focus on the human thrombin receptor. The thrombin receptor is activated by thrombin cleavage of the receptor exodomain and exposure of an N-terminal tethered ligand that binds to the body of the receptor. Receptor activation precipitates complex signaling events culminating in platelet aggregation, wound healing, and cellular proliferation. Since chronic activation of the receptor may lead to coronary artery disease, stroke, and other vascular diseases, preventing thrombin receptor activation is of pharmacologic interest. 1) Macromolecular Structural Studies of the Resting and Activated States of Thrombin Receptor Extracellular Domains. NMR structural studies of the thrombin receptor exodomain in activated and resting forms are currently in progress and a preliminary structure has been generated for the activated exodomain. Future projects include solving the structure of the exodomain complexed with extracellular loops. Insight into the molecular interactions between the exodomain and the body of the receptor should provide leads for the development of novel anti-thrombin receptor agents in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company. The NMR facility is located in the Medical School Biochemistry Department and current instrumentation include a new Bruker 600 MHz and updated 500 MHz magnets along with several SGI workstations. Our lab has close collaborations with NMR spectroscopists who provide additional technical expertise. 2) Thrombin-Cell Surface Protein Interactions; Development of Cell Surface-Specific Anti-Thrombotic Agents. During coagulation, the physiologic concentration of thrombin exceeds that of its thrombin receptor substrate. Therefore, thrombin has a difficult task of discriminating among the various cell surface proteins to find the receptor and cleave it in the millisecond time range. We are interested in exploring this unusual mechanism of substrate-assisted domain cleavage by thrombin and using this information to develop a novel class of cell surface anti-thrombin agents. The laboratory is located within the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute, a modern, state-of-the-art facility with a staff of 40 investigators including technical support. Qualifications for this position are a Ph.D. degree. Candidates with training in NMR who would like to acquire expertise in molecular biology are encouraged to apply.

I was sitting in an after hours restaurant not long ago here in Hyannis MA when an unusual man walked in and took a seat at the counter. What was unusual about him is that he looked EXACTLY like Raymond B. Cattell. Same eyes, hair, nose, build, cranial structure, mouth, teeth, expression.. right down to the trim of his beard.. an absolute dead ringer for R.B. Cattell at about age 55 (Cattell is presently 90). I was stunned and mystified of course as I watched and listened to him since Cattell is kind of a singular character in appearance. He didn't know about this of course since few people outside of Psychology have ever heard of Cattell or know what he looks like (Cattell belongs to the "Vincent Price" typology sector of the upper middle class British family tree if you've never seen a picture of him). This guy was however obviously a misfit unfortunately born into lifelong financial hardship; as I overheard him say that he was a welder and lived in a $75 dollar a week room in Harwich and also worked in a leather shop because he "knew how to sew". At any rate, this encounter with Ray Cattell got me to thinking about genetics and family resemblance. The chances of this guy being related to Cattell are one in a million, since he went to Harwich high school I found out... that's not the explanation of why he looks like Cattell. I mean; obviously this guy looked more like Cattell than any of Cattell's kids (Cattell has been married 5 times and has numerous kids). I mean consider how little John F. Kennedy Jr. looks like John F. Kennedy... I practically look more like JFK than he does..! So here's the genetic question: If children are 50% genetically identical to their parents; but there are people that (far) more closely resemble them than their children, does this mean that some "lookalike" stranger is MORE CLOSELY GENETICALLY RELATED to you than your own children..? Take for instance the 20 winners in an Elvis Presley look alike contest... every one of them looks more like Elvis than any of his relatives, parents or children. Does this mean that while the DNA-DNA correlation coefficient between Elvis and his parents or kids is exactly .5.. that it may actually be .6 or .7 or .8 between him and one of these "lookalikes".. I find that ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is amazing, for one thing, because what it means is that if you die "childless" as many people do.. that actually you have "genetic survivors" out there that are related to you EVEN MORE CLOSELY THAN ANY OF YOUR NONEXISTENT KIDS WOULD HAVE BEEN...!! Good Lord... is this true? What about all that talk about the "end of the family line" if you don't have any kids.. according to this analysis such a thing is impossible...? Now, another question. Isn't this a case of "convergent heredity". I mean, if A marries B and has a child, .5(A+B), and then marries C and has a child, .5(A+C), then if the two kids get married.. isn't it possible that they could have a .5(A+A) kid which would then be an identical CLONE of A ...!!! Isn't this essentially how you get 20 Elvis lookalikes in North America.. none of whom are related..! If anyone on this list knows ANYTHING about genetics, I would appreciate an answer to the question of whether a "lookalike" stranger can possibly be "more genetically related to you than your actual family members"; by actual DNA comparison. This question obviously has consequences for Psychology; particularly my psychology.

[speculation snip] I would suggest that there is probably a more mundane explanation than your absurd speculation. Have you not heard of men behaving irresponsibly, women left holding babies and all that? I'm not saying that Cattell, whoever he may be, has acted irresponsibly, but that such matter is best ignored in case you open up a whole can of worms. If you really want to look into this allege phenomenon, you should at least find out more about his life story and parentage before you go on with wild speculation about geneticss and all that. ps. I haven't yet seen a convincing Elvis lookalike and I think I've seen enough.

But if you look at the much smaller subset of genes that may affect appearance, maybe the chances are more reasonable. In that case, what you don't see is what you don't get, i.e., Cattell and the guy Hammond saw are unlikely to be closely related in the vast majority of their genes that don't contribute to the appearance phenotype.

In that case, what >you don't see is what you don't get, i.e., ..(snip).. Dear Jack: There's an old expression that says "..if it looks like a duck and talks like a duck and walks like a duck- it IS a duck.." I think this holds in the case of lookalikes- genetically. The error in your argument is the statement "purely by chance". People don't get married on the basis of "pure chance".. that's rediculous. There is a highly selective-assortive mating process.. and THAT is what destroys the "randomness" factor and produces "lookalikes". They are not produced by 'chance" they are produced "deliberatly" The main features of identity of a person are his appearance and his psychological personailty. while his blood type, immune system and a million other variables may be slightly different.. the chances are that overall they won't be largly different (overall) if the two people simply look nearly identical. Many actual codon-for-codon differences make little or no significant difference.. its the "large DNA patterns" which make for similarity, and obviously if two poeple look nearly identical.. their DNA must be similarly identical (on average) for the large patterns. My conlcusion remains that so called "dead ringer" lookalikes ARE in fact more closely genetically related than siblings.. i.e. the DNA 'similarity" for the "important" features of the identity correlate GREATER THAN 50% which is the well known numerical ratio for siblings.

I think this >holds in the case of lookalikes- genetically. Well, I think that the first thing to consider here is what percentage of the human genome is responsible for the outside appearance of a person. I don't think that is very high. Most of the human genome codes for enzymes and structural proteins. So your hypothesis that looking very similar to another person involves a high degree of genetic similarity is highly questionable. But this is probably not very hard to test by experiment.

There are a myriad of genes whose combined effect produces the shape of a nose, etc.. And if two individuals have - by chance - the same or a similar combination of those genes specifically, then they might look the same. But appearance genes are not necessarily related to others, and thus your claim that these ndividuals who look the same are more genetically related than are siblings cannot really be justified. Siblings are much more likley to have common genes than are perfect strangers from different worlds.

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.

I propose a simple solution I have seen somewhere else. The idea is that the incoming mails are collected at the server and sent out in one mail once a day. A moderator is assigned to check the messages and get rid of the junk. In addition to getting rid of the junk mail, there is an additional plus to this method, there is only one mail sent out instead of the dozen or so at times.

Time passes slower for a clock that is moving fast, relative to the speed of light. I think it also passes slower for a clock near a big mass (or experiencing a large accelleration). There's a novel called "Beyond the Blue Event Horizon", by Fred Pohl I think, that describes space travelers forever locked in orbit around a black hole. On board their ship, time creeps by at a snails pace, while outside the black hole galaxies are born and die.

Should one apply "minimum image convention" to protein atoms or only for the water molecules ? Could you please provide me with more details and didatic references ? Thanks in advance.
