A first attempt to create a Proteopedia page. I am going to try for some 3D protein stuff. Let's see if I succeed.

So we start with Nicotine. Last time I smoked a cigar was at my brother's wedding. This is unquestionably related to between these two Oxygen groups on our Riboside. If it was larger I would obviously smoke more often.
So lets see what happens if we enlarge this distance.
Surprisingly this attempt does not change the distance by a single Angstrom - apparently quite strong forces hold this protein together. But under strong tension, the protein does show signs of stress and develops a in its residues.
Surprisingly, this makes sense. I do like - in the rare cases when I smoke a cigar - to drink a glass of frothy beer!
Science is wonderful.
