I
okay we're with you Franklin hello
welcome to the space shuttle Columbia on
this mission fts 75 we have spent the
last several days conducting research in
microgravity science one particular
experiment which I wanted to mention to
you distant world involved in the
crystallization of proteins in
weightlessness in the proteins are some
of the most fundamental building blocks
for lives on our planet Earth they also
play a key role in the life cycle of
disease they control for example
critical functions like reproduction
like growth and of course that now with
this in mind and in their continuous war
against these modern medicine and
pharmacology have focused more on the
microscopic than the macroscopic world
it is in fact in this rearm that we can
better understand and hence defeat the
enemy in fact the more precisely we know
the protein structure of of a disease or
a parasite the more effectively the
weekend engineer drugs and medications
or vaccines to counteract them if we
were able to transport ourselves to the
microscopic world we would find that
this proteins look very much like this
model right here
who are in fact three-dimensional
arranged in very specific patterns
booking structures present very specific
notes and crannies to which other
proteins bind and relate to their
surroundings these lands are binding
sides hold the key to many of the
critical functions of the living
organisms inhibiting some of the sides
can alter can arrest can neutralize or
in fact in the case of a disease can
kill it
hello folks
Oh Jeff hi Claude we're looking in the
window anga
columbia were handed over to Goldstone a
lot of the same columbia through
gallstones okay and i got the big
picture from rich when you ready to copy
okay stories i have a picnic okay we
will bring up edwards for tomorrow we
will not attempt the first rev at KSC
that's on orbit 234 we will take aim at
the second opportunity at KSC which is
235 if we waive off on that one we will
evaluate 236 at KSC we will also
evaluate 236 at edwards if we waive off
of KSC will take a hard look at
Saturday's weather at KSC and we will
keep that option open for a Saturday
landing at KSC so the first one we'll
try is a second opportunity at KSC if we
waive off there we'll look at the third
opportunity at KSC and also look at
edwards but we will keep our options
open if it is optimistic for Saturday
landing at KSC will try that also okay
forecaster Saturday they had to pick
innocent Edwards on that second dress
yes sir the second or the third
opportunity at Edwards that's to 36 or
237 so if this saturday forecast is
really poor for KSC the chances are you
go to edwards on to 36 or 237 okay
and I've got some proposed sleep times
for you have a copy if the blue is a the
blue team's not in bed they can be a
hidden that way about now we're
proposing your sleep read sleep at 14
days two hours and 45 minutes proposing
blue to be up at 14 days two hours in a
30 minutes and you all read to be up at
14 days 10 hours and 45 minutes
