Which blogger can build the largest and most successful team in Protein Folding?

Hi There Nodalpoint users,

As a way to promote rosetta@home, a project dealing with the ab initio folding of proteins (determination of the 3D-structure of a protein without the use of a template, solely based on the amino acid sequence) I would like to suggest a little competition.

Which blogger can build the largest and most successful team in Protein Folding?

How to participate?

Leave a comment to this post (http://yourscicom.com/blog/?p=41) at YourSciCom to enter the competition.


so, Connotea or CiteULike?

Hi,
Connotea and CiteUlike are two of the most important online reference management services.
They allow scientists to make their own bibliographies and to share them with other people on the web.
Connotea is opensource and it's released by the Nature Publishing Group, but CiteULike is not related to any publishing group, but closed software (as it's written in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connotea, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CiteULike).


This month's molecule is...

Space-filling and backbone model of 1HRY
There are a number of "Molecule of the Month" style mini-reviews on the web, which highlight one particular molecule (usually a protein) every month, in an accessible style. Two of my personal favourites are protein spotlight: one month, one protein written by Vivienne Baillie Gerritsen of the Swiss-Prot team and Molecule of the Month at the Protein Databank PDB edited by David Goodsell. Both these features are worth a quick read because they can help bio-literate and bio-curious users to increase and reinforce their knowledge relatively quickly.


A Sign, a Flipped Structure, and a Scientific Flameout of Epic Proportions

One of the most spectacular flameouts in science happened last year. In a short letter (barely over 300 words long) published in Science in the very last issue of 2006, Geoffrey Chang, a crystallographer, retracted 3 Science articles, a Nature article, a PNAS article and a JMB article. The sum of 5 years of work was destroyed, apparently, over a single sign error in a data-processing program. Read more...
