Medicine Man starring Sean Connery. Working in the rain forest, he uses chromatography on
a leaf extract which can cure cancer. His assistant (Lorraine Bracco) views a
chromatogram on a laptop and announces that there are 47 peaks. We see a scrolling list of
the identities of the peaks which includes ferric chloride and silica - and a totally new
organic compound (for which the computer program produces a structure!) all in the one
chromatogram! The writers should talk to the writers of the Simpsons to get some tips. |
