Turn proteins into music

When I'm listening to the sound of a protein, I can't help speaking out: wonderful! Look, scientific jobs are not boring and can be injected with art particles!
Contributors: A classically-trained pianist and microbiologist at the University of California at San Diego, who has been "musicalising" the proteins along with colleague, Jeffrey Miller.
Article: Rie Takahashi and Jeffrey H Miller, Conversion of amino-acid sequence in proteins to classical music: search for auditory patterns, Genome Biology (In press)
Further examples of converted proteins and the computer program are accessible for online use [www.mimg.ucla.edu/faculty/miller_jh/gene2music/home.html]. The browser allows anyone to send in a sequence coding for a protein that is then converted into music.
