___I don't know enough chemistry to say it's relevant or not, but it has the bright twinkling light of geometry that draws me in every time.

Cool link Turtle, I sent them straight to my favorites.

I think I'm missing something but I thought RNA is the factory within which globular and structural protein 'shapes' are produced. If someone wanted to build molecular machines, they'd resequence DNA (the recipe), let RNA at it (the chef) to produce proteins (the Beef Wellington).
