I am working with two senior scientists from Princeton and PennState
on certain previously unnoticed correlations between protein message
space and protein structure space.

A consideration of the globular nature of proteins in relation to
those quadrics which are/aren't surfaces of revolution suggests that
it would be beneficial for our team to know whether certain pairs of
skew lines generate one-sheeted hyperboloids or hypars (a la Hilber/
Voss-Cohen), and what the equatioons of the generated surfaces are.

Can anyone recommend someone who's done this and is ready to "plug-and-
play"?

Mention will of course be made in a paper to be submitted late summer/
early Fall.

Thanks for any time you can afford to spend considering this matter.

�I thought I replied to this, but I don't see it.

�This sounds like a system of polynomial equations. �If so, I could be
interested. �Look me up.
