1. David Case, case@scripps.edu, tries to keep up.

2. Vladimir Pelmenschikov, vovan@scripps.edu, post-doctoral fellow working on quantum chemical studies of active sites of metalloproteins.

3. Thomas Steinbrecher, steinbrt@scripps.edu, post-doctoral fellow, working on QM/MM descriptions of radical cations in DNA.

4. Vance Wong, vwong@scripps.edu, post-doctoral fellow, working on analysis of NMR relaxation behavior in proteins.

5. Yannick Bomble, ybomble@scripps.edu, post-doctoral fellow, working on multiscale models of nucleic acids.

6. Joachim Latzer, jlatzer@ucsd.edu, post-doctoral fellow, working on structural and thermodynamics aspects of phosphorylation.

7. Sishi Tang, stang@scripps.edu, graduate student, working on the analysis of chemical shifts and chemical shift anisotropies in proteins.

8. Mitsuo Shoji, mshoji@scripps.edu, post-doctoral fellow, working on molecular dynamics simulations of iron-sulfur proteins.

9. Scott Brozell, sbrozell@scripps.edu, programmer, works on optimization and incorporation of new algorithms into Dock and Amber. Scott also works as a programmer on the Columbus quantum chemistry package.
