Although I have repeatedly said for ten years now that SAP could make a fortune in the bioinformatics arena, it recently occurred to me that the justification for my claim here can be neatly encapsulated as follows.
The fundamental "supply chain" of life (from protein message (mRNA) to protein chain (amino acid sequence which folds into a functional 3D protein) can be characterized by two simple statements about supply and demand:
a) Protein structure "demands" amino acids of two types - phobic and philic.
b) The translation mechanism of the ribosome "supplies" these amino acids, using the supply of t(ransfer)-RNAs and associated synthetases which the organism has available at any given time.
So, I will be happy to relocate to Germany to join a bioinformatics skunk-works team in Walldorf, a team whose goal would be to turn observations (a-b) into a recurring cash stream for SAP.
In this regard, please note that my bioinformatic work is already known and respected in Germany:
and of course, I am reasonably well-established as kind of a creative guy in the SAP technical subculture (LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
