The Then and There

And then there were two

A second enzyme that removes acetyl groups from lysine residues in E. coli been discovered and represents the founding member of a new enzyme family.

Alanine: then there was water.

An ab initio study of the addition of successive water molecules to the amino acid l-alanine in both the nonionized (N) and zwitterionic (Z) forms are presented. The main focus is the number of waters needed to stabilize the Z form and how the solvent affects conformational preference. The solvent is modeled by ab initio electronic structure theory, the EFP (effective fragment potential) model,...

Genome Sequencing: And Then There Were Six

The genome of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been sequenced, bringing the number of sequenced eukaryotic genomes to six. Analysis of the sequence predicts only 4824 protein coding genes, the smallest number yet recorded for a free-living eukaryote.

And then there was one: comments on the price rise for MAA and DTPA.

And then there were none: the consequences of academia losing clinically excellent physicians.
