Newsgroup Charter: bionet.molecules.free-radicals is a forum for
scientific discussions and a source of information for the community
of scientists interested in knowledge and understanding of the chemistry, 
biology, and pathology of oxygen and its metabolites, related free radicals, 
other activated or reactive species, and antioxidants.

Functions of the newsgroup:  The newsgroup will facilitate rapid
communication among research scientists and educators investigating the 
generation, regulation and effects of reactive oxygen species in many 
biological fields, including but not limited to cellular biology, molecular 
biology, developmental biology, genetics, (electro)physiology, ecology, 
taxonomy, evolutionary biology, etc. and will thereby allow more rapid 
progress in research involving free radicals.

The newsgroup will provide a forum for discussions of problems, old and new 
ideas, journal publications, and recent developments in free radical 
research. The newsgroup will also provide sources of practical advice, 
methodologies, and answers to frequently asked questions concerning 
understanding of reactive oxygen species and techniques used in such 
research.

Finally, the newsgroup will serve as a bulletin board for announcements of
meetings, conferences, job opportunities, and funding sources of interest
to biologists studying free radicals.

Subscribers are welcome from universities or any academic institutions,
government agencies, medical institutions, and industrial or commercial
organizations.  Contributions within the functions outlined above are
encouraged.

Moderation Policy:  Mass-posted commercial messages, chain letters, and
similar postings not germane to plants or signal transduction will be
deleted without comment. Inappropriate messages posted in good faith will
be returned to the sender.  Messages not strictly within the charter but
likely to be of interest to many subscribers will be accepted.
