I am a physician and weight loss specialist. My studied base of 1500 patients has consistently proven - dependable and prompt weight loss. Many dieting patients have experienced results ranging from 1/2 to 1 lb. per day of body fat loss. Dieting patients should not be surprised to experience weight loss of up to 15 to 30 lbs. during the first thirty days. These results vary by patient, but significant weight loss is dependent on a program that is simple to follow, has demonstrated NO significant side effects, is all natural and is easy to use. Please reply by e-mail for further information and you will receive "The Doctor's 30 Answers To Weight Loss" for free, without obligation.

The vital feature of this very clear image of DNA molecules is that no plectonaemic winding can be discerned. That is, they show no sign of being double-helical. The duplexes consist of long, paired, helices with a consistent, uninterrupted contour running between the two strands of each of the four duplexes, whose highlighted features remain exactly in phase with each other over their whole lengths, extending to some 17 - 20 full helical turns. In their Figure 3(d) is shown the height of the duplex, that is, its diameter as it lies on the substrate, equal to some 1.3nm. Their images fully accord with the sketch of B-DNA set out in the website, and shown in Ref. 2 (page 48), for which the cross sectional, helical dimensions are determined solely by the width of the Watson-Crick base pair, namely 1.1 nm, connected across the helices, while the pitch remains at 3.34nm. In Ref. 2 (pages 51, 149, 170) there are details of three independent demonstrations reported by different researchers, deducible from experimental work in the literature, that Isomer 2 (defined in the website) is that which is actually found in DNA in vivo, and that Isomer 1 is unknown. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy of Nucleic Acids; G.

One of Wilkins' collaborators, A R Stokes (4), produced probably the first optical diffraction prediction of the pattern arising from a true side-by-side helical structure, set out in the website, this one having 8 repeat units per full turn. This true side-by-side structure mirrors that found in Ref. 1(Puzzle #1)) by STM. Stokes' optical diffraction pattern would seem to resemble closely Franklin's X-ray diffraction pattern of B-DNA. In the same paper (4), Stokes, from his work on the Fourier transform for a helix, showed that, defining as "delta" the angle between an arm of the "helical cross" and the Y-axis (meridian): tan delta = helical pitch / helical circumference Applying this result to Franklin's photograph of B-DNA, delta is measured as 40 degrees, and, with a pitch of 3.34 nm, the helical diameter is found to be some 1.3 nm. It seems that Stokes' result was never applied to B-DNA diffraction photographs by Crick, Watson, Wilkins, Franklin or Stokes. Even in later work with better definition, for example, from Wilkins' group on Li-DNA, included in the website, we see a similar value of delta. For a supposed double helical diameter of 2 to 2.2 nm, delta should be 28 - 26 degrees respectively, far removed from the actual values of 40 - 41. The helical diameter of 1.3 nm, found from Stokes' equation applied to Franklin's & Wilkins' photographs, coincides with the STM value of 1.3 nm measured by Lee et al. (Puzzle #1, Ref. 1), recorded in their Figure 3d, and accords with the Watson-Crick base pair width of 1.1 nm which itself determines the sugar-phosphate chain diameter set out in Ref. 2. ---------------------------------------------- 3 Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate; R.E.

Theor. Biol., Joel Keizer Memorial special issue, in preparation. Abstract: Since the first days of electronic computing, there has been a strong focus on the development of techniques for atomic scale simulation of a wide variety of molecular systems, from liquids to macromolecules and everything in between. These methods have ranged in physical detail from those that include details of electronic structure to those which model much of the system of interest as a continuum, and thus exclude even some atomic details. At present, methods based on molecular mechanics can model systems that comprise up to several million atoms. These simulations typically involve applications to complexes of several large biomolecules, or to the modeling of material properties. While simulations of these sizes hold great promise for elucidating atomic level behavior for many interesting systems, they are inadequate for the application we consider here: that is, the simulation of significant pieces of cytoskeletal machinery. These include the various networks of actin, myosin and associated proteins that are involved in structural support of the cell, in locomotion, and in development, and microtubule structures such as the mitotic apparatus. Between methods such as Virtual Cell, which model aspects of physiology at a high level in three dimensions, and atom-level simulations of proteins, there is a "twilight zone" that is largely unoccupied. This middle ground includes those methods aimed at simulating very large polymerized systems such microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Here we review the methodologies that currently exist, and discuss the systems they have been applied to. We describe the design of In Vivo, a computer application we are currently developing that is intended as a general simulator of very large cytoskeletal components. We envisage a number of applications for In Vivo, such as the dynamics of intracellular trafficking, simulation of the spindle apparatus, and cellular motility. The program is intended to allow side by side comparison of simulations with time lapse movies, with interactive alteration of parameters to attempt a match. Our particular interests are in the realm of nonlinearities in cellular tensegrity structures, such as the operation of the cell state splitter in embryo cell differentiation, and the role of the cortex in symmetric versus asymmetric cell division. In Vivo could also be used for testing models of the 3D structure of chromosomes and their changes during altered gene expression. >To: biophys@net.bio.net >From: "Ryan D.

This gives Fortran code, which should also be available from statlib under directory apstat. This approach seems only suited to 1-D problems because of the number of function evaluations. It has the effect of balancing doing extra function evauations in regions where the function is "roughest", with evaluations in the neighbourhoods of possibly competing local optima. The locations where the function is evaluated are decided so as to supply the best improvement of information about the location of the overall optimum in a statistical sense. However, the "genetic" algorithms already mentioned seem well suited to the problem.

If you bug me a few days from now, I might dig up a PL/I test program I wrote with the article refs embedded in it. Perhaps it can be understood by looking at a related area: In chosing PDE solution points, Mt Carlo is said to be more effective because beyond two dimensions, rectangularisation is inefficient. IBM's million-dollar Simulation Blaster works along those lines by providing a file of non-random best sampling points so you don't have to use Mt Carlo. - = - Vasos-Peter John Panagiotopoulos II, Columbia'81+, Bioengineer-Financier, NYC BachMozart ReaganQuayle EvrytanoKastorian http://WWW.Dorsai.Org/~vjp2 vjp2@{MCIMail.Com|CompuServe.Com|Dorsai.Org} ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

(5) drew fibres of the lithium salt of C-DNA in both hexagonal and orthorhombic lattices. In a hexagonal lattice of side 3.5 nm., systematic absences followed (-h+k) =/=3n for l=0, and (-h+k)=3n when l=1 or 2. Streaks were found on several layer lines in both lattices and could be explained by molecules having a random axial translation of c/2, without using the systematic absences, according to Marvin et al. Fuller et al. (6) state that such a pattern of systematic absence allows the choice of a hexagonal unit cell of side reduced by root 3. Marvin et al. chose the larger unit cell, large enough to accommodate a double helix. If we elect to reduce the unit cell size, a double helix cannot be accommodated, and we find that the maximum, outer helix diameter which can be acommodated to be: (3.5 nm / root 3) x sin 60 x 2/3 = 1.2 nm In an orthorhombic lattice, where Marvin et al. found a=3.22 nm and b=2.02 nm, large enough to accommodate a double helix, they report that systematic equatorial absences follow h+k=2n+1. This pattern of absence is reported by Langridge et al. (7) to allow the halving of the long side to form a new reduced unit cell. In a reduced orthorhombic cell with a=2.02 nm and b=1.61nm, a double helix cannot be accommodated, and we find that the maximum outer diameter of a helix which can be accommodated is now 1.3 nm. In both hexagonal and orthorhombic lattices, the observed streaks in the patterns could result from a random axial displacement of duplexes of c/2, according to Marvin et al. If we elect to explore the implications of a random axial translation of c/2, utilising the layer line streaks as evidence, we are able to use the systematic absences in both lattices to choose a smaller unit cell in each case. Applying Stokes' equation to the helical cross of Li DNA in the Langridge paper (7), we find delta = 41 degrees and the helical diameter to be 1.22 nm. A DNA helical diameter of 1.2 to 1.3 nm is therefore deducible directly from the STM work of Lee et al. (Ref. 1) (and many other AFM & STM studies set out in Ref. 48), or by applying Stokes' equation to Franklin's B-DNA diffraction pattern (Ref. 3) and to diffraction from Li DNA in the C form (7), or from James and Mazia's surface film of B-DNA (Puzzle 20 still to come). A very wide range of entirely separate experiments suggests that the helical diameter of the major diffractors (the sugar-phosphate chains) is 1.2 to 1.3 nm. This dimension is dictated solely by the Watson-Crick base pair width of 1.1 nm in a true side-by-side model (see Refs. 2 & 4). --------------------------------------------- 1 Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy of Nucleic Acids; G.

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. -------------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------- the UK-HGMP-Resource Centre (known as hgmp.mrc.ac.uk): ----------------------------------------------------- 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@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk. 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 majordomo@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk. 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 Please ask for help at biosci@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk 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. 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 have been very annoyed at the amount of spam postings we have received. I have also been receiving many to my email address apparently from some louse grabbing my email address from postings. I have found a FREE reporting mechanism at http://spamcop.net/ I stumbled upon it by accident. It will make all the necessary reports to network administrators concerning spam email and newsgrou postings. It is able to get through phony email addresses by reading the headers. It takes me less than a minute to do this and I have received responses from the administrators with news that the person had been dealt with. It's just a thought.

I figured a quick way of doing is would be to determine the diffusion of a fluorescently labeled dextran (with a caged fluorescent dye) with comperable diffusion characteristics. I vaguely remember hearing that dextrans diffuse like proteins three times their size (i.e. a 30kD dextran diffuses like a 90kD protein). I couldn't find any literature on this so I thought maybe I could get some help here. So, does anybody know how dextrans compare to proteins in respect to diffusion ? Thank you very much in advance.

Their diffraction pattern shows "pronounced streaks" in a hexagonal lattice of side 4.15 nm and they remarked that the equatorial reflections followed h x h + h x k + k x k = 3n. This pattern of equatorial presences is equivalent to that of Fuller et al. (Puzzle #3, Ref.6) where such presences follow h-k=3n in a cell whose side can be reduced by root 3. (Squaring (h-k) and subtracting from the expression in the previous paragraph, there is a difference of 3hk, a quantity always divisible by 3.) Therefore Suwalski & Traub's value of 'a' can reduced by root 3. Suwalski and Traub decided that their pattern of systematic absence could be explained by postulating axial translations of the molecules equal to c/3. Now, the very same diffraction pattern of Suwalski and Traub with DNA-polyarginine was re-indexed on an orthogonal net by Fita et al. (9) in a unit cell of approximate section 2.6 nm x 3.6 nm (10) where equatorial reflections followed h+k = 2n. Langridge et al. (Puzzle #3, Ref. 7) have shown that this pattern of presences would allow the halving of the long side of the cell section. Fita et al. considered that the pattern of systematic absences in their orthogonal net indicated that the axial translation of the molecules was c/4. So Suwalski & Traub considered that the fibre had axial displacements of the molecules of c/3 in a hexagonal net, and Fita et al. found the axial displacement to be c/4 in an orthogonal net. But there was only one single fibre and only one diffraction pattern. Therefore, whether a hexagonal or orthogonal array is chosen, the axial dispacement can only have one value. Marvin et al. (Puzzle #3, Ref. 5) considered that a random axial translation of their molecules of c/2 would account for the streaks on their layer lines in a hexagonal lattice. The value common to both analyses is therefore c/2, but this is deducible from the layer line streaks and not from the patterns of systematic absence. Therefore the patterns of systematic absence in both the hexagonal and orthogonal nets should be taken to show that, for both indexing schemes, a smaller unit cell is the right choice, with a random axial displacement of c/2. However, if the unit cell sizes are reduced accordingly, the double helix can no longer be fitted into the reduced dimensions of the original cells. As we have seen in the earlier Puzzles, a true side-by-side duplex, where each helix has a diameter of about 1.3 nm, and, in this case, has its grooves at least partially filled with poly-arginine, will fit the new, reduced unit cells (e-mail author for diagram). The helical diameter of about 1.3 nm is a direct geometric consequence of the Watson-Crick base pair width of 1.1 nm. ------------------------------------------ 8 A Comparative X-ray Study of a Nucleoprotamine & DNA Complexes with Polylysine & Polyarginine; M.

It would be nice if a science book was selected. If we pool our efforts and vote in unison then maybe we can succeed. I've searched through the top-selling science books and I suggest that we vote for "The Bible According to Einstein: A Scientific Complement to the Holy Bible for the Third Millennium." Being a comprehensive summary of all scientific knowledge of the last two thousand years, it seems an appropriate choice. To vote go to http://www.amazon.com/ and click on "Enter to win." For the title entry, "The Bible According to Einstein" should suffice. There is no author listed for the book so leave that space blank. By the way, by voting you become eligible for Amazon.com's millennium giveaway contest. Tell your science friends to vote too. Long live science!
