Biopolymers Erik’s Molecular Computation Page http://dope.caltech.edu/winfree/DNA.html Resources pertaining to the field of DNA computing have been compiled here. They are categorized in the following areas: conferences and events, relevant journals, researchers in the field, references and resources. The site is maintained by Erik Winfree at Caltech (US), who has also contributed some research articles to this site. Glycoforum http://www.glycoforum.gr.jp/index.html http://www.glycoforum.gr.jp/indexJ.html (Japanese language version) At Glycoforum, four modules cover topics related to glycosciences. ‘Glyconews’ contains information about upcoming conferences. Interviews with researchers comprise ‘The Forefront of Glycoscience’, while ‘The Science of Hyaluronan Today’ contains articles about hyaluronan and related targets. In the fourth module, ‘GlycoWord’, a number of short articles have been organized under keywords such as: lectin, proteoglycan, glycoprotein, glycolipid, saccharide, glycotechnology, and glycopathology. GPI-Anchors: An Overview http://www.gak.co.jp/TIGG/TIGG42/42MR3e.html Peter Gerold, Volker Eckert, and Ralph T Schwarz of the Medical Center of Hygiene and Medical Microbiology, PhilippsUniversity Marburg (Germany) have written a minireview covering glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol membrane anchors of proteins. It was published in Trends in Glycosciences and Glycotechnology in 1996. Nadrian Seeman’s Home Page http://seemanlab4.chem.nyu.edu/ Research topics in Ned Seeman’s group at the Department of Chemistry, New York University (US) include assembling DNA molecules into novel structures, nucleic acid topology, and DNA nanotechnology. An introduction to his work, titled ‘DNA as Lego’ was written by Andrew D Ellington (http://clio1.cshl.org/leadingstrand/views/lego.html). Schultz Lab Research Interests http://schultz.scripps.edu/research.html#Index Among the research projects in the Peter G Schultz laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute and Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (US) are the following: functional
genomics, molecular diversity and catalytic antibodies, unnatural amino acid incorporation into proteins, incorporation of unnatural bases into DNA, and single molecule spectroscopy.
Model systems Biomineralization Links http://www-hsc.usc.edu/~hbw/Links/biomineralization.html Hai Bo Wen of the School of Dentistry, University of Southern California (US) has compiled a list of researchers working in the area of biomineralization. Biomineralization of magnetic minerals http://earth.agu.org/revgeophys/moskow01/moskow01.html This site contains an overview of developments in the iron biomineralization of magnetic minerals by microorganisms. It was written by Bruce M Moskowitz of the Institute for Rock Magnetism and Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis (US). It was written as part of the US National Report to International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics 1991–1994. Professor Lawrence Que Jr Home Page http://128.101.160.154/quespace/ Professor Lawrence Que’s interests in the Department of Chemistry, University of Minnesota (US) lie in the areas of metalloenzymes, reactive intermediates, functional models and phosphate ester hydrolysis. Ribozyme Engineering and Early Evolution http://www.aibs.org/biosciencelibrary/vol48/feb.98.ribozyme.html This article, subtitled “Combinatorial chemistry provides a simple tool for the study of nucleic acid catalysts and prebiotic evolution” was written by Laura F Landweber, Peter J Simon, and Thor A Wagner. It was published in BioScience Magazine in 1998.
