...Berlin, suffering from a bout of self-doubt, had written, then written off this pleading ballad (along with another plaint, "How Deep Is the Ocean?").

Because a protein's structure is essential to its function, those proteins that perform similar functions often have stretches where they are similarly shaped. Instead of focusing on the structure of just one target, Vertex homes in on entire families of proteins as it seeks out its leads. This is done by crystallizing a protein of interest and exposing it to intense X-ray beams. The way those beams are scattered reveals how atoms along the molecule's length are arranged--information that is converted into a protein structure by computers. Chemists use this structure to digitally model molecules that...
...Thousands of young Chinese women and a few men are taking advantage of a surgical procedure originally developed in Russia to help patients with legs disfigured by accidents or birth defects, such as dwarfism. While Western hospitals tend to perform the difficult surgery only for medical reasons, the number of Chinese hospitals offering the profitable procedure for cosmetic purposes has mushroomed. Many clinics have year-long waiting lists. The surgery's popularity is abetted by requirements that exclude short citizens from dozens of fields, from flight attendants to government translators. In a country that has hundreds of qualified applicants...
