our synthetic ape C-il (46-58) gave a negative response when tested with purified native apolipoprotein C-fl. Double iminunodiffusion (Ouchterlony technique) of antibodies against our synthetic ape E (141-155) gave a positive immunoprecipitation line with Purified apolipoprotein E, which showed a partial identity with those obtained with polyclonal antibodies raised against the native protein. ...

Claude Shannon : Biologist :

Claude Shannon founded information theory in the 1940s. The theory has long been known to be closely related to thermodynamics and physics through the similarity of Shannon's uncertainty measure to the entropy function. Recent work using information theory to understand molecular biology has unearthed a curious fact: Shannon's channel capacity theorem only applies to living organisms and their ...
