      That is über-cool. Really, it is. I might even get an official position in the Church of Valpuri for this feat.

        I'm really bad at thinking of screen names, so I'd use the name of a character from a book or something.

                And what would that normally be, if you care to save me from doing a sequence search on this particular protein.

                  Does that stuff really exist? it seems rather... complex!

                    Nah, he is just showing off. It would appear to be the most convoluted way I have ever come across of describing an amino acid sequence. It's probably something quite simple like trypsin or something

                      A google search merely turns up two sites giving it's number of letters, and citing it as the longest word in the English language. I haven't found it's chemical name yet.

                      The longest word in standard dictionaries, however, still apears to be pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis.

                        Bingo. As Chowlett stated, I happened to meet this rather fancy (and unuseful) way to write the sequence down by just Googling for some page-filling words to show off here. Even I don't have enough free time to describe sequences so that they fill half a page.

                          So what was the protein?

                            It seems to be an enzyme called tryptophan synthetase, which (as you probably know, being quite more experienced in this branch of science than I am) catalyzes the formation of tryptophan by uniting serine and indole.

                            BTW, it seems to be that my original word monster was not even the longest (and probably one of the most unpronounciable) word there is; NADP specific glutamate hydrogenase can be deciphered to an even longer word.
