  Geographical review - Mirny Observatory
Mirny Observatory (opened on February 13, 1956) is situated on the coast of Cape Davis at a small protrusion of Mirny Peninsula at a point with coordinates of 66033’S and 93001’E. The altitude of the station above sea level comprises 35 m.
Mirny Observatory is the main base of Russian studies in the Antarctic.
Corresponding to the cyclonic activity, the maximum precipitation in Mirny is observed in the wintertime and minimum in December and January.

A 1998 Harvard University graduate with a PhD in biophysics, Dr. Mirny was a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows.
Mirny is interested in developing stochastic computational models of genetic and biochemical networks, cellular regulation, and signal transduction.
Dr. Mirny believes that, as computational biology and bioinformatics become integrated into many biological research efforts, courses in computational biology will be essential training in biology and health science, particularly for HST students.

 MIT finds most complex protein knot ever seen
Once the "death mark" is applied, proteins are shuttled to a cell structure called a proteasome, which pulls the protein in and chops it into pieces.
The researchers hypothesize that proteins with complex knots can't be pulled into the proteasome as easily, and the knots may make it harder for the protein to unfold, which is necessary for degradation.
Virnau is working on a computer program and a web server, soon to be publicly available, that can analyze the structure of any protein to see if it has knots, which he believes could be helpful to researchers in structural genomics.

 Diamonds from the deep | | The Australian
WELCOME to the Mirny mine, which is also the biggest hole in the world.
Mirny (which means peaceful) is one of the coldest places on Earth where winter temperatures plunge to -50C, causing lubricants to freeze, steel to crack and rubber tyres to collapse in the snow.
The pit sits at the edge of the town Mirny, population 40,000, which is constantly exposed to the smell of rotten gas from hydrosulphide, which escapes from the mine.

 Chapter Seventeen: The Russians are Coming
Jet engines were used to blast holes in the permafrost, and enormous charges of dynamite were used to excavate the surface rock and loosen the underlying kimberlite ore. The entire mine had to be covered at night to prevent the machinery from freezing.
The machinery at the Mirny mine, on the other hand, must excavate ground that Is frozen solid seven months of the year in sub-freezing blizzards.
The enigma of Mirny's overproduction, therefore, was not satisfactorily resolved.

 HST Faculty Biosketch - Leonid A. Mirny, Ph.D.
In these studies, Professor Mirny seeks to identify amino acids that determine specific DNA recognition, to test these predictions in future experiments, and to find methods to engineer proteins with novel biological functions.
His research seeks to extract efficiently biological knowledge from experimental genomic and proteomic data and to develop a fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in cellular regulation, which aims to reconstruct the cell's entire regulatory network-a goal of both genomics and bioinformatics research.
