Ahhh Zeke.  Tell him I miss him.  

I think your intuition is right.  ARE THERE ANY PROPER BIOLOGISTS IN HEARING
RANGE?

This week, thanks to my friend Zeke, I have been thinking about a fairly
well-known data compression algorithm called LZW. Unlike Huffman codes,
which rely on an apriori knowledge of character frequencies, LZW
*Scaffolds* it's adaptive process by constructing a dictionary. While this
dictionary is crucial to the functioning of the algorithm, it appears as a
side-effect in that, it is immediately discarded once LZW has succeeded in
producing its code. The codes in the dictionary can be interpreted as having
an inhibitory function on the output code. That is, finding a code in the
dictionary allows the algorithm to skip a code. I would be curious to know
about ways that similar processes arise in the context of biology, genetics.
For instance, and simply with the aim to be provocative, to what extent
might the production of peptides facilitate the catalyzation and
constraining of more complicated protein interactions?
