    That's a good one Actually one of the things I work on is on there, Luciferase.

    On a side note does anyone know of any software for drawing chemical formulae? I mean the basic line drawings not the 3D stuff, I have software for that.

      Ant - I have two different programs for that, ChemDraw and ChemWindows. There's another called IsisDraw. ChemDraw is the most popular.

      Adamantane - That's funny. I've heard of that molecule thousands of times in my career as a chemist and never got it. LOL

      One of my favorite tricks as a high school student was sneaking up behind a group of students and blowing over the top of an open jar of cadaverine or butyric acid (rancid butter). I would then disappear before the smell wafted to them.
