The cytotoxic cell death effect

Hours later Im still thinking about what he said, what it means, and why biology is such fascinating science. ISMB the Ninth International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology is in full swing this week at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark. For those of you whove never been to Copenhagen, Tivoli is combination of amusement park, public gardens, and food hall. The cytotoxic cell death effect of aggregated proteins could be bodily defense mechanism the errant cell dies before it can reproduce, but if enough cells die, you have another problem.

Ive simplified the science and hope Ive simplified it correctly, but the end result is fascinating glimpse into how biological system works, and how it breaks down..

At meeting like ISMB its easy to caught up in the scientific detailia and lose sight of the big picture. The park was constructed in the midnineteenth century, so it has kind of otherworld, othertime feel to it. At quiet moments during the talks you can hear kids screaming as the roller coaster rumbles by.

Why does bioinformatics exist? Not for its own sake, but to help answer such questions as, why do proteins fold and what happens when they dont? So why might some proteins cause disease by aggregation? Its likely the biology of the system thats to blame, not the gene sequence.
