Thanks for the thought, Mike — I’m staying tuned.

Nice.

An explanation for the numerous metabolic deficiencies in wild-type D. radiodurans and their role in extreme radiation resistance will be published later this year. Here’s something to consider – think about the sorts of small molecules which might accumulate in cells with the metabolic defects and responses described in Ghosal et al., 2005; Venkateswaran et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2003; and Makarova et al., 2001. pdfs of these papers are available under ‘Lab Publications’ at http://www.usuhs.mil/pat/deinococcus/FrontPage_DR_Web_work/Pages/Lab_info/papers_in_pdf_formate.htm .

This was one of the few papers that I actually enjoyed working on.
