Please note that BIONEWS or bionet.general is for announcements that are of interest to the entire BIOSCI community, not for specialized chemistry discussions. From past experience fielding complaints, I know that people WILL get worked up if this goes onto bionet.general. If these discussions are of widespread interest to biologists, they would be better directed to RESEARCH-NEWS (bionet.molbio.news) in the general case or better yet to one of the more technical groups. The suggestion of forming a sci.chem group is probably the best one given the level of interest. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIONET Resource Manager kristoff@net.bio.net or kristofferson@bionet-20.bio.net
