| About me: |
An educated redneck from Dallas, Texas, USA. When I was in grad school in 1985 at the State University of New York at Buffalo, my master's thesis was to construct and present a computer program that predicted the secondary structures (helix, sheet, loop) of proteins based on their amino acid sequences. Tertiary structure (i.e. folding) prediction was a pie-in-the-sky fantasy. Imagine my delight, a quarter century later, to find out that not only are people determining tertiary structures of proteins, but they've made a *game* of it. I play to win; but I am not always in a serious mood. You can often find me in global chat cuttin' up with my trusty cyber-horse "Trigger" and/or my evil cyber-nemesis "Headless Chicken Villain". Say howdy if you see us. |
