Article at Astrobiology Magazine - Fleshing Out Martian Proteins

http://www.astrobio.net/news/modules...rder=0&thold=0

"Summary: Berkeley biophysicist, Richard Mathies, talked with
Astrobiology Magazine about plans for a 2009 experiment to test for
martian biology. By making a portable test for protein detection and
classification, his contribution to future forensics may yield the most
comprehensive tests yet for detecting life elsewhere. Can heating soil
samples with amino acids reveal biological origin-- or not?"

The race is on between that and reflying the existing minaturised Mass
Spec instruments package of Beagle 2... Anyone with a little sponsorship
to spare? (;-))

What time of day?
How many beers??


Cheers,
