Vile Little Dungbeetle: 09/2006

while dodderingabout the lab looking for a suitable project, i discovered a novel peptide sequence, derived from an obscure strain of bacterium - the Myexroomates anasshole. it looked something like this:

i was surprised to find that this 21 amino acid peptide was unlike anyother previously identified from the M. anasshole strains, although it had one alpha helix and an obligatory linker to the adjacent parallel beta sheet. its sequence is Trp-His-Ala-Thr-Thr-His-Glu-His-Glu-Cys-Lys-Ile-Ser-Thr-His-Ile-Ser-Cys-Arg-Ala-Pro.

or in the single letter abbreviation as used for amino acids: WHAT-THE-HECK-IS-THIS-CRAP.

A little help with the homolgy search anyone?

the english language is undoubtedly a confusing one. learners are often confounded by the range of unpronounced letters, take for instance the silent k in knowledge; the silent t in listen; and a silent p in the swimming pool.

speaking of which, samanthas gentleman friend brought her swimming the other day. she was suitably impressed by his sense of humour, height and toned physique. samantha tells me he stood out in his trunks.

small note - as far as i know there are no euphimisms in this blog. so for those of you who have been asking, i have no idea what you are talking about.
