Your DNA Is a Song: Scientists Use Music to Code Proteins
John Roach

What are proteins? How are they structured? What's the difference between a protein in a human and the same protein in a lizard? Ask Mary Anne Clark these questions and she is likely to respond with an earful of music.
Clark is a biologist at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, and she's part of a growing field of science educators who use so-called protein music to help illustrate the basic structure of the building blocks of life.
"If you play [the protein song for that sequence] you get that sense of the pattern much more strongly," she said. "That's my feeling at least. You hear stuff you can't see."

An interesting article.

I'm all in favor of unconventional means of research, analysis and education.

The first five notes of this are the notes played to the space ship.
For some reason, theses notes are burned into my memory and I only saw the movie a few times.

On a similar note, has anyone seen anything about the theory of colours being related to audio frequencies, in particular musical key?
