In a discussion earlier this evening a friend and I were trying to name fast-clock proteins that were *not* species-specific, and we couldn't think of any. So, I would appreciate suggestions, as this is going to keep me awake nights until I find out... thanks in advance, dan -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU Disclaimer: As always, I speak only for myself, and, usually, only to myself.

If you are in class Mammalia, the caseins certainly mutate at a rapid clip. There are (ca.) 37 entries in PIR last time I checked. These include a number of different types of caseins, related only name. However, one could probably make a number of parallel trees of the class which would, if nothing else, make an interesting exercise. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TTGATTGCTAAACACTGGGCGGCGAATCAGGGTTGGGATCTGAACAAAGACGGTCAGATTCAGTTCGTACTGCTG Eric E.
