SERE (SURVIVE, EVADE, RESIST AND ESCAPE) WITH BODY ("DNA TO PROTEIN") AND MIND

SERE (SURVIVE, EVADE, RESIST AND ESCAPE) WITH BODY AND MIND 

 

 

Un metro de DNA por cromosoma multiplicado por 46 cromosomas que contiene cada célula hacen 46 metros de DNA por célula; multiplicado por un billón de células que hay en el cuerpo dan un total de 46 billones de metros de DNA en el cuerpo de una persona. La luna está sólo a 200.000 millones de metros de distancia

(Lynn Margulis y Dorion Sagan, Microcosmos)

 

 

THE MIND, INTRACTABLE THING

LA MENTE, COSA INTRATABLE

MARIANNE MOORE

Imperturbable ante lo que ha sucedido, 

No detenida por la derrota aparente, 

Tú, grabadora de imágenes, sin miedo 

De los que desprecian, de la muerte o el abatimiento

 Has calado a la sirena de Zennor, 

 Hecho irresistible el artificio de la palabra: 

 Coral, resto naufragado, chico perdido y “campana hundida en el mar” 

 La cosa más parecida a un rey que tenemos- 

Un arte con el que no sé tratar 

 

 

Unafraid of what’s done,
undeterred by apparent defeat,
you, imagnifico, unafraid
of disparagers, death, dejection,
have out-wiled the Mermaid of Zennor,
		made wordcraft irresistible:
reef, wreck, lost lad, and “Sea-foundered bell”—
		craft with which I don’t know how to deal.

 

DNA To Protein - Part 8

As presented in Part 7, the 3 billion bits of information that make up the DNA in each of our cells is approximately 6 feet long. This 6 feet of DNA in each of our cells is folded up and compacted into a… pic.twitter.com/HyOVOkm6y0

DNA to Protein - Part 9

If you were to take all of the DNA in your body and line it up end-to-end, it would stretch 34 billion miles, which means it would wrap around the earth’s equator approximately 1.2 million times.

DNA to Protein - Part 10

How Do Proteins Fold?

The 25,000 genes across the entire human genome encode the information to create approximately 100,000 different proteins.

Proteins are the complex biological molecules that do most of the work in each one of our cells.… pic.twitter.com/HASihTnhm0

To understand how amazing this is, a relatively small protein of only 200 amino acids can fold into 10^200 (10 followed by 200 zeros) different combinations. If the protein could attempt a different folding pattern 10 billion times each second, it would take longer than the age of the universe to find the correct shape. Yet, each protein can fold into the correct shape in nanoseconds.

DNA To Protein - Part 11

After proteins are synthesized in the cell, the story is not over for many of them. As discussed in the previous installment, proteins have to fold into the correct three dimensional geometric shape.

After the protein is folded, there may be other… pic.twitter.com/NGXvUqaK20
