Roland Piquepaille writes: "I'm always bluffed by the imagination of scientists. Microbiologists from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have converted DNA sequences of human proteins into music, so you can listen to the sound of proteins. One of the researchers, who is both a microbiologist and a skilled pianist, found a way to "cram the 20 standard amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) into just 13 notes." And the generated music got rhythm too... Amazing! But read more for additional references and a picture of a musical partition of a human protein."
