Protein® DVD's Coming Soon
Believe. DVDs coated with a layer of genetically-altered microbe proteins could one day hold terabytes of information, says a US-based researcher, reporting his findings at the International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Brisbane recently.
Venkatesan Renugopalakrishnan, a professor of Biomedical Engineering at Florida International University and an internationally recognized expert in protein structural biology and engineering has invented a next-generation means of storage technology that dwarfs current technology.
Renu (as the professor is known) and his team at BioFold Inc., a California-based firm that he founded in 1999, in collaboration with FIU and other corporate labs, are designing a single-layer DVD that can store up to 198 gigabytes of data – more than 20 times the capacity of a dual-layer DVD-9. The technology will be able to store even up to 50,000 gigabytes (about 50 terabytes), he says.

Protein® Forum at 2gether08
Yes indeed, the first mini-Protein® Forum event is taking place on 2nd July as part of 2gether08 at the Rochelle School in Shoreditch. They've got a great line-up of speakers, panels, workshops and sessions so get your ticket now.
The format for the Protein® Forum events are going to be similar to the Freq events we used to run at 54 Below i.e. 3 speakers, 30 mins each with drinks and DJ's after. The difference for the 2gether event is that we are on at 10:30 in the morning, so no drinks and DJ's this time.

Back, Finally!!!!
Hey everyone, great to be back. I'm not sure what happened exactly since I was an old school protein user, and one day I found it no longer existed and I stopped getting e-mails. Well, good to be back, and if anyone fills me in, even better. Later all.

I've been a Protein member for 37 years!
Beat that!
It means I joined 9 years before I was born. Or maybe it has something to do with the epoch 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970...
