SCOTT BETTS'S OF THE WORLD: UNITE!



Incredible!


After receiving an e-mail from a Scott Betts at Adobe Systems, and his memory of a Scott Betts who was a bat boy for the Houston Astros, I decided to see how many of us there really were. I found five others with a Yahoo search. I was stunned to say the least. So adding the Scott Betts from Adobe Systems, and the alleged Scott Betts from the Houston Astros, there are at least EIGHT Scott Betts(s). Weird, and not just a little scary. Here's a summary of what I've found...


What...Where?
A Heat Pump DistributorScott Betts & Son; in Benson, NC
A Regional Sales Manager Durequip...not sure where exactly.
A Bass PlayerIn Seattle (where else?) The Band's Name is Boss Martians. Click here for more info.
A DOCTOR!At the University of Michigan. Click here for more info.
ANOTHER DOCTOR!At MIT! Click here for more info.

I always knew we'd make something of ourselves!

Here's some of the details from the search I ran:

The Seattle-based Boss Martians are one of the newest young surf bands to distinguish themselves in the mid-'90s. The band was established in 1991 by guitarist Evan Foster and bass player Scott Betts. They cite influences of original '60s surf bands such as The Trashmen, The Astronauts, The Pyramids, The Chantays, and of course Dick Dale & The Del-Tones.

Scott Betts completed his dissertation entitled "Effects of Site-Directed Mutations on the Folding, Assembly, and Function of the 33-kDa Protein of Photosystem II" under the direction of Charles F. Yocum.

Inclusion Body Formation: Using monoclonal antibodies directed against the tailspike, Margaret Speed has been able to characterize the conformations of the productive junctional folding intermediates and the aggregated intermediates leading to inclusion bodies. These latter represent monomer, dimer, trimer, tetramer, pentamer, associations of a destabilized folding intermediate. Antibodies reacting with the native protein do not recognize the early folding intermediates. Antibodies reacting with folding intermediates do not bind tightly to the native state. The anti-I antibody that recognizes productive folding intermediates also binds to the multimeric aggregation intermediates. This antibody recognizes the N-terminal region of the tailspike chain, which is apparently not native in the intermediates. The earliest steps in the polymerization pathway are already irreversible, explaining the inability to spontaneously recover chains from this kinetically trapped state. Dr. Scott Betts is examining the effects of tsf mutations and their global suppressors on these off pathway polymerization reactions.
