Topic: PSDB


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  The Protein Structure Database (PSdb)
Two of the most important and difficult problems in molecular biology, the protein folding problem and the structure-function relationship in proteins, are directly concerned with relating the three-dimensional structure of a protein to the primary sequence.
The PSdb also records secondary structure of the author as reported in the PDB file and the Phi, Psi definition as classified by Garnier [40], Scheraga [41 - 43], and Thornton [44].
Indeed, one of the driving forces in the development of the PSdb is to understand the role of metal ions in the stabilization of specific tertiary structures and the propensities of the various side-chains to interact with specific metal ions [56].

 Brazil's PSDB names Alckmin presidential candidate - Boston.com
The Brazilian Social Democracy Party, or PSDB, announced its decision in Sao Paulo after days of meetings to decide whether Alckmin or Sao Paulo Mayor Jose Serra would be the nominee.
The PSDB has been split for months on whether to go with Alckmin, who has little name recognition outside Sao Paulo state, or Serra, who is well-known throughout the country but was beaten by Lula in the 2002 race.
Investors welcomed the PSDB's announcement since both Alckmin and Lula are viewed as economic conservatives, reducing the likelihood of market turbulence in the campaign.

The manner in which the PSDB went about choosing its presidential candidate, Geraldo Alckmin, belies any claim that it is a democratic party which has Brazil's interests in mind.
These polls were obviously carried out before the PSDB decision was made and Alckmin's ratings will probably rise as he becomes better known nationally and the campaign begins in earnest.
The PSDB has also failed to capitalize on the "bribes for votes" scandal, known as the "mensalão", which has destroyed any idea that the Workers Party (PT) had higher ethical standards than the others.

It is surprising that the major adversary of the Lula government is the PSDB.
Given that both the PT and the PSDB are committed to modernity, innovation, the end of self-serving politics, the practice of a different sort of politics, employing social changes and rescuing the great part of Brazilian dreams, it is surprising that these two presidents and their parties are fighting.
But the unjustifiable has an explanation: No matter how close they may be in terms of national proposals and origins, the PT and the PSDB are absolutely distant, they are visceral enemies from the electoral point of view, due to the fact that they are both parties from São Paulo State.
