1. Circular Scrolling

all you need to do is edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

under "Input Device" of your touchpad edit to look like the following:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "CircularScrolling" "1"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection

in firefox
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action - Set this to '1'
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines - Set this to '1'

run 'gsynaptics'

2. Firefox addons:
Download plug-ins for Firefox designed for compact computers and easier navigation. Some names to look for include: "Grab and Drag" and the theme "Tiny Menu."

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1455

3. Use RAMDISK in FireFox (check internet connection)
It turns out that there is a hidden setting in firefox called browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and all you need to do is set it's value to /dev/shm and restart firefox and then you are on your way to speedier surfing. so how do you set this, well it is simple

1) open firefox and type about:config in the address bar
2) accept the terms and click the "i'll be carefull" button
3) right click on any of the values on the screen to bring up the context menu and click new->string
4) the first prompt wants the name of the string enter "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" without the quotes
5) the next prompt is the value set it to "/dev/shm/" without the quotes
6) restart firefox
7) type about:cache in the browser bar and it should tell you it is using /dev/shm under "Disk Cache Device" if you don't see a "Disk Cache Device" section you did something wrong.


4. Disable LAN and Webcam in the BIOS (Hit F2 upon starting the system) if these are not in use.

A lot of us have switched to EEEbuntu on our EEE PCs. If you are like me, who likes to keep his netbook clutter free, you will want to set up RAMdisk. And if you thought that setting up RAMdisk in Windows XP was easy (see this article), then in EEEbuntu, it is even easier.

* RAMdisk is located at “/dev/shm”
* Open firefox and type in about:config in the address bar
* Click on “I’ll be careful”
* make a new string browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
* give it a value /dev/shm
* restart firefox

Usual warning about RAMdisk: you will loose all the data upon restart. That is why, it is only recommended for web browsers

Mechanistic Basis of Enzyme-Targeted Drugs

Most often, subtle changes occur in the side
chain and main chain positions of the enzyme in order to
bind the substrates transition state optimally.

Some interesting paragraphs from the paper ...

Thus, it should be stated again. Enzymes are catalysts,
and the catalytic event is at least as important if not more
important than the binding event. Enzyme catalysis progresses
through binding events, conformational changes, one or more
transition states, or reaction intermediates, and product
release, and all of these steps occur with defined rate
constants. The rate constants define a thermodynamic profile
that can be used for drug design, and this differentiates
enzymes from all other target classes.

the larger the increase in replication time, the more toxic the drug

In
addition, purely kinetic information can be used to predict
potential drug toxicity. As an example, a detailed pre-steady-
state kinetic analysis of human mitochondrial DNA poly-
merase has been used to predict the potential toxicity of
marketed antiviral drugs.

One
of the major lessons to be learned from marketed drugs is
that nature has designed enzymes to perform a selective
chemical reaction, and therefore, it is likely that the most
potent drugs to be discovered or designed will be related to
the substrate structure, reactivity, or electrostatic potential
surface of intermediate(s) or transition state(s).

でも demo 'but'

* 品質はいい。でも、値段は高いです。[ hinshitsu ga ii demo nedan ha takai desu.] [ex #870]
The quality is good but the price is high.
