<x-flowed>Dear Rich,
It looks like a great quiz/tutorial--will you leave it up until after
the meeting so I can actually look at it?
You do not sound amenable to being assimilated? The EB is not the
Borg. You and your fellow members should go to the re-organization
meeting with ideas on what you would like to do to to promote synergy
and communication amongst the protein groups.
You should know that the Protein Sequence Research Group has included
de novo sequencing by Mass Spec in all of its trials preparing
samples in the past 4 years, but have had little response from people
actually using MS to perform peptide sequencing, although the numbers
went up each year. I am not on the committee anymore, having served
my three year term, so it will be interesting to see if the numbers
are up again this year. Mass Spec is also used in the Nucleic Acid
Research Group for quality control purposes.
Rest assured that the technique of mass spectrometry will be used by
various research groups to look at a variety of questions, even if
the membership of the protein research groups along with the EB,
decides to change how the group members are grouped (so to speak!).

Weather inconsequential: bright and sunny right now, but they say
that snow is moving in. See you all in Bellevue I hope!
