The only difference is that you'd have to find bioluminesent bacteria instead of running around catching fireflies. Look you can't do what you suggest. Just by asking these questions you're proving that even with access to a lab and all the resources necessary you still wouldn't posess the technical knowhow to do it. If you really want to pull this off I suggest enrolling in a good molecular biology/biochemistry/biotech etc... program at an university.

Seriously maybe if you told us what your talking about we might have an answer.

You cannot do this at home trust me. Well not with household items. You need access to chemicals, materials and equipement only available to labs. Expensive ones at that. Actually I'm currently doing this. I'm working on a project to make roots glow with luciferase as reporter gene for gene expression studies. It's alot of work...

Ummmm yeahh.... I'd say developing an weapon to sell to a governemnt in the hopes of them using it for genocide, is a tad unethical....

Lol so you're claiming that your interpretation of life is correct and everyone else who doesn't see it that way is dillusional? ha ha ha you have a sad opinion on life. I wish you the best. Try not to kill yourself. Most of your reality is what you make of it.

What would you measure it against anyways? And IQ is rating based on someones level in relation to their age group... Since our nature on our plant is the only one we know of how can you qualify that? edit* oppps I didn't read your above post sorry

lol what have you been smoking? seeing as nature doesn't think, reason, or comprehend in the slightest bit I doubt you'll have much luck measuring it's ability to do so.

First of all your missing a Hydrogen in the second reaction. H2CO3 <-----> HCO3- + H+ is what it should be Second this is NOT enzyme catalysed. It's just an acid being deprotonated. SO yeah it catalyses only the first reaction.

To be entirley fair dak there isn't such thing as an anti-promoter. A promoter isn't so much a code as it is a topographical region of DNA that interacts with proteins in a sort of "lock and key" mechanism. Both strands have equal importance in it's function overall as proteins interacting with the groove inbetween the strands for the most part. The idea of identifying a promoter by the sequence writen on the same strand containing the gene in the same direction is really a convention to simplify notation.

Try wikipedia. They have a good explaination there. Formic acid = wrong. IT's an acetylcholine, histamine etc.. mixture.

Hmmm why don't you try that with some chlorosulfonic acid and tell me what the result is? Edit* please please don't. A couple months ago some dript of the metal syring I was using to handle it and landed on my gloves. Which imediatley started to smoke and crackel. I Immediateley put the syringe down and ripped off my gloves and got someone else to close the open container.... Just because you play with whussy acids does not mean there are not dangerous ones out there. A friend of mine splash some. It went onto her face. She was home for a week letting the scabs heal.

ENFJ - Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Judging Yep describes me pretty well.

How about a mitochondrial dissorder. That fits really well. Non mendelian inheritance and equal frequency between the sexes.

Geeze relax, how's he/she supposed to know your gender? Maybe you should state it at the beggining of every post you make if this bothers you so much.

Biochemically? The question doesn't really have any relivance. It's make up of pretty much the same stuff as the rest of your body...

I wouldn't work since ATP isn't transported in the blood stream for the purpose of transporting energy. Energy is transported as sugars and fats and then used to catalyze the production of ATP by the cells that take them up.

That's not true the first life appeared around 3.5 billion years ago. Eukaryotes appeared 1.8 billion years ago.

I'll wait till hydrogen cars come out. These transition technologies don't really appeal to me.

hmmm for some reason I suspect that you just answered based on the title of the post and did didn't read it at all...

I'd assume so, but only since I know nothing about the topic and have no reason to believe otherwise

So that's the topic. Has the debate on biotechnology specifically GM crops already been deemed irrelavent by the world having chosen it's path already? Of course there are stil nay sayers who are violently against it. However now with China and India making the move to fully develop biotech to support their bulging populations, and with South Africa ready to makes moves which will most likely lead to much of the rest of africa following, are these nay sayers just wasting their breath. 70% of all processed foods in North america contain GM products and that number is quickly growing. It seems that the only anti-GM stronghold left over is Europe. But really lets face it Europe is pretty insignificant compared to North America, Asia, and Africa... Plus much of their current objections seem to be political in nature flue by anti-american setiments and distrust of large corporations (Like Mosanto) which have tainted their reputations by previous seedy business practices. Not to mention that every Anti-GM argument every made has failed to find any factual support whatsoever... I find it funny how one of the major arguements against GM crops was that they'd leave the developing world behind. Ironically it seems that if many developed countries don't catch on they'll be the ones left behind.... I remember a story a historian friend of mine told me to put this into perspective. When trains first were being estabilished there was strong opposition to the technology. The leading arguement against them was that it was unnatural to move at speeds faster than on a horses back. And that travelling faster on a train would have negative health effects... I guess what I mean to say is: is it inevitability at this point.

It appears to be a left handed helix, unlike DNA's right handed helix. Though the image is prettys sketching and lacking in depth, you could argue either way. But a left hand helix fits it more "naturally"
