After reflecting on this a bit, I rejected anything dealing with glide planes, and although I initially thought I had something good involving a screw axis of evil, I decided it, too, would probably be lost in translation, not to mention a bit dated.
Perhaps something more current, involving electrons, would help to resolve this? I'll give it some thought this morning as I bicyle up the worst hill in the region. Unfortunately, it is still very early here, and I don't yet have the inspiration I possessed for my crowning achievement during my postdoc, which was to place a small, inconspicuous label on the outside door of the toilet facility that read "MRC Lavoratory of Molecular Biology.” (I am flush with embarrassment every time I think of that.) Can this also involve nucleic acids? I’m afraid protein structure puns might be a bit outside my domain. — Bill > On Aug 15, 2019, at 4:42 AM, Gerard DVD Kleywegt <ger...@xray.bmc.uu.se> > wrote: > > Dear CCP4BB-ers, > > Once again I turn to you in my hour of need.
