X-Message-Number: 27318 Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 07:55:56 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: a short message for Brent Thomas A short message for Brent Thomas: An imitation of a ribosome structure is an imitation of a small part of life. How long it will take us to imitate a complete mouse still looks quite far. Of course, as an imitation we don't even have anything close to a version of the real thing, as I'm sure you know yourself. The chiefest problem in imitations is not how they work when everything goes well, but how it behaves when it doesn't. Best wishes and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=27318
