  1. There is an animal called the electric eel. I this animal discharges electricity. So it is not impossible. But the eel does not produce the electricity by photosynthesis. I don't know how that works exactly. that's all i needed to know. I guess it's impossible to transfer the chemical energy into electrical energy. Using the energy inside of "glucose" or alcohol inside of something like a hydrogen fuel cell may be possible but this is no longer a biological discussion at that point. You want to use ATP. Well the storage and release of electrical potential is not common in biology. Photosynthesis creates an electrical potential but that potential energy is used to make ATP, etc. particularly by the process I described earlier. Preventing that production of ATP usage could produce voltage potential. That is one side of the plant to the other one. Maybe you should talk to an electrician. Electrical circuits are closed loop. I am very serious. Once you have consumed all the ATP there is no more. The methods of gaining ATP are not available to you at that time.
  2. Is this a Rube Goldberg swiss army knife? glucose and NADPH If you harvest one, well, isn't this sort of a stop action production scheme? Not feature creep exactly but say "overlaps". Why just not buy a donkey, feed him grass and have him walk on a giant wheel? Are you a PETA member? Then take the ATP and break it into ADPThat particular energy? Perhaps I should read into the word break. How much electricity creation are we talking about? How will this electricity be qualified? Are you looking to light up a light bulb or just produce blips on an EKG? How will you prevent the subject biological material from eating your electricity out of the storage unit? I don't mean to be course, but biology and, say, Benjamin Franklin electronics are not in anyway allowing you to join these things with clear and certain ease. I'd go back to the donkey on this. A donkey can make a light bulb light up, you name it under 100 watts. By the way, what plant that you know of produces glucose? If you want a plant to hook into the grid use grass. So far your idea sucks. I'm not saying you suck. But the idea is piss poor. ATP to ADP is an energy transfer. It does not release electrons with potential energy. Duracell and donkeys release electrons with potential energy. Regardless of what this is for, you have a system which does not pass the Stewart test. Do you want to die? If not think along the lines of subjecting kelp in saran wrap to a CO2 free environment. Orient that towards the sun. If it does not work, well, have you tried it? Because ATP is a bitch. Biological material is going to suck that up first thing. Forget electricity, whatever that is. Maybe DL-methionine could be a source of energy? Have you plugged a hunk of dog shit up with the potato battery kit yet?
  3. I was thinking this should could be cut off. I am bias to leaving the remain intact. Which aspect of genetic material do you think is altered in the cultivar? Is this an addition, subtraction, deletion, repeat. How did it get repaired? Because this is a test bush, I check this thing on a daily basis. I even braid it. So I would have noticed this branch like a weed. Never seen it before. I usually do not care for this plant because when it blooms it smells and gives me allergies. Last years bloom was not spectacular, barely there really. This side of the bush bloomed late. Late July or so. It was mild and seemed to be constrained by the braiding.
  4. I have bush outside of my garage door. My father planted it some years ago. It is a horticultural "bush" for lack of a better term. It flowers. The most notable characteristic are the genetically damaged leaves. If you have gamma correct, like NVidia settings it may help to see the photos. I do this things hair up. So bent sticks are probably twisted hairdresser gardening. It was not pruned at the end of last year. Sorry about the darkness. Branch in question is on your left. The offshoot rests on the large offshoot. It should be the one that extends farthest to the left. The bush has one branch that is genetically different from the rest of the bush. I did not notice this last year. The only thing I know of that has been sprayed this year is some Prodiamine and some 2-4,D. It is ordinarily a "test" subject for various chemicals to see if the chemical would harm plants. Two years ago I used potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, trisodium phosphate, zinc gluconate, SAMe. Last year yeusts: the microorganism, S. boulardii. L-methionine, L-phenylalinine, the potassium. I also sprayed a toothpaste sold in the UK. Sarakan. I believe it contains a plant extract that contains Phenylisothiocyanate which is also enlisted as the "Edmunds reagent". See Edman degradation. I use this in my microorganism releases. Primarily it smells nice and has been a boon. It also contains geranium extract which is precursor to squalene, precursor to sterols. Sort of like bug spray for retards. It has also been sprayed at with copper in varying amounts, ammonia (this test yielded a negative effect on this plant in particular), b-vitamins, sand, rocks, borax... The branch displays this genetic variation back to a node. Besides this branch the node has on it other branches which display the original genetic structure. This offshoot has been pruned many times. This node protrudes from what is probably the end of a pruning. Diane wacked the bush with a yard stick a few years ago. I have evidence that Diane wacked this node. The "wacking" appears to have attempted to heal itself. The wacking was still attached to the branch bunch in question.
  5. The most likely planet is venus. It has a mass closest to that of earth. Mercury appears to not only look like the Earth's moon but it also seems to be weighted like it. This mercury may be venus's intended moon. It is not terribly far from capturing it. It would seem the mass of venus is slightly less than that of earth. Venus is covered with CO2 and sulfuric acid. This is the environment in which life could spring up. There has to be some atmosphere on the planet. I think mars is just not a large enough body of mass to retain an atmosphere. The periodic table sort of dictates these things.
  6. I would only buy from ebay if the seller is willing to go "unconditional money back guarantee". Sellers are almost always third parties with equipment they know nothing about. But perhaps you don't either without having your hands on it. From experience only, it looks like the equipment is good, so probably like a rock (with software). You'de pay shipping twice on the retur. It doesn't look like a pallet you have to arraign, but don't be scared of these either. They can run 85 to 200. I'd avoid any Western Union or check transactions. Use insured transaction methods. In the end it is just a pain in the ass when you are done. Is this the equipment good for the tests? It should provide separation and comparison data. If not send it back the seller to be relisted. NMR can provide comparison data as well. You need charts to compare data to. My impression of NMR is that it is like a chemical oscilloscope. There is a lot of data that can be interpreted from readings. It also provides some "quisi-voodoo" info, like if you are just screwing around. And this is probably more relevant in analytic chemistry than in electronic circuit design because this is the stuff -- the chemicals -- which you are to qualify. Almost as if you were to smell some spaghetti sauce that was on the stove. Or wine tasting. You could say it is 'je ne sais quoi', too biter or very woody. But well interpreted NMR data I've seen in: Fessenden Fessenden, University of Montana. Organic Chemistry. Pacific Grove, California: Brooks/Cole Publishing Company, 1990. Chapter 9 Spectroscopy I: Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance They use IR and NMR combined throughout the book.
  7. Mushrooms. Hmm. Thinking like using something like a glycerol solution to dissolve the material and then dilute it gradually to achieve some precipitate. I have no laboratory experience with analytical organic chemistry. I've never worked with HPLC. It sound like it would provide separation. It would provide accurate and reliable comparative analysis. The mushroom thing is messy though. The Chinaman who preps this stuff...I'm thinking like a pot of tea buried in the ground for a month or something. Highclass stuff. Mushrooms liquefy. The product is dark. This is a phase of mushroom. The growth medium of the mushroom will effect the result to some extent (oh yeah). Your "extract" is probably still alive. When it hits the column of silica it may react. The cellulose and dextran gels may work. According the the wikipedia the extracts contain polysaccharide-K. If that information is correct, it shouldn't be difficult to verify ("beta-glucan β-1,4 main chain with β-1,3 and β-1,6 side chains"). NMR or some sort of saccharide specific reagent, check Fisher Scientific. You then ;have the protein. Are you interested in having that sequenced?
  8. It's about what the bird was saying. Are you sure I can't knock the methyl group off of there? This seemed to me to be where sulfur control would be the primary role in a fairly easy action as SAM-e is set up for ready usage. Cobalamin is not stereospecific. Doesn't it carry a methyl group? Given the will to get one it could probably take it by shear will.
  9. IR spec or nmr spec would probably be the best for organics but I think the complexity of it is what the problem is. Besides don't you need isolated chemicals? Do you have any idea what you will be looking for? In that case chromatography is the way to go. What sort of extractions are you going to be using? There's a fully functional NMR on ebay for under $15K. Depending on the substance and what sort of yield you get, you can alway use the CRC density, freezing/boiling point, solubility and a few basic tests.
  10. OK I just lost what I was going to post. Not exclusively or in racemic form. Is there one that produces D-methionine? Can the bacteria re-assimilate the D-methionine or is it a waste product? D-amino acids may also have completely unrelated occurrences during metabolic processes. I do not have an example of one of these. This whole d-amino bacteria thing sort an apocalyptic perspective. Like saying earthquakes build buildings. That's OK. I'm not sourcing DL-methionine from bacteria however, nor am I giving it to them. There is some older research in which micro-organisms are cultured on a number of racemic amino acids (why? IDK. Ordinarily a little papain and some acid is all you would need). Racemic amino acids will not prevent the growth of micro-organisms. I have not found any documentation regarding what remained of the D-amino acids. This is not a "transaminase". At least not yet. Methionine is slightly acidic, otherwise hydrophobic, so this may or may not work. The side-chain contains sulfur, so I'm not 100% sure we have this process complete yet. But this may just be all that is necessary to hurt the d-methionine. DAAO or DAOX uses flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) co-factors. Ordinarily l-methionine demethylates to l-homocystine with combines with l-serine and the sulfur is exchanged yielding l-cysteine and alpha-Ketobutyric acid (which is now achiral do to the loss of NH3. Wikipedia is calling l-cysteine "semi-essential". This is reliant upon Cystathionine beta-synthase. The enzyme has to hold on to some thing and it's either this D-amino group or the sulfur. Perhaps both. Recognizing that the sulfur leaving homocysteine is chemically bonded, obviously the amino group has to be pulled off of it or stabilized in some way. The NH3 is removed, along with a -H, and is replaced by the keto group. What is going to need to happen with the carboxylic acid is the question. Assuming the carboxylic acid remains intact it may form an ester -- and if so our enzyme is likely stereospecific. The bird does think D-methionine can even yield the SAM-e, which is a perquisite. Sort of a strange hold on metabolic energy. Creepy.
  11. Please. Where is the natural source of D-methioinine on earth? That I might find it... SO, you know of apartic acid and α-keto. Aspartate aminotransferase. Of course. Aspartate transaminase catalyzes the interconversion of aspartate and α-ketoglutarate to oxaloacetate and glutamate. Aspartate (Asp) + α-ketoglutarate ↔ oxaloacetate + glutamate (Glu) While Aminotransferase and Tarnsamionase are spelled completely differently, I love the prior art...I just can't make this sort of thing SHA-ZAM happen at will. Notice > It did say D -amino acid ... or does it? mmm nope. is not the protein I need until I have D-methionine metabolized to α-ketoglutarate. (the fucking thing dosn't just start sucking up NH3 like from anywhere... you know?...Where does the NH3 go, how does it come back, why is this not reversible? But you're right I am just sitting around, drinking a coke, looking for alot of free D-amino's to rearrange. I want to know how this process unfolds. Not just hypothetically or philosophically I could run into one of these in nature ... free range, full scale, industrialized metabolism of D-methionine Despotism 101: How does it go down?
  12. Well it doesn't mean this is the one day you might think about "Earth". Maybe it is the first day you would start thinking about it. Most people in society do not have jobs/careers or lifestyles for that matter that direct their focus at the Global Spectrum. Obviously you have a conscience that does not give in so easily. It's one day, that's all you get. Take it or leave it. I'd rather the discussion did not insinuate responsibility, however. What I am aiming for is like: Deforestation Endangered animals Habitats Globalism Over Development and Suburban Sprawl Paper or Plastic CO2 Emissions
  13. What does Earth Day mean to you?
  14. Septic as in they receive runoff or run-under from conventional septic systems. This is a discharge into a "sand mound" on top of semi-permiable earth. Gutter runoff may or may not be released on the down-stream-side of the discharge. Not sophisticated at all. These are going to be natural waterways which have been converted to storm drain systems. All of these systems are continuous flow. If a runoff is not continuous flow, it will be be impermeable construction. I am at an elevation below 300 feet in Pennsylvania (note the Great Lakes shorelines are 1000 feet and have a depth of about 1000 feet). Up stream *of the photos* is quarried rock of about 21 years. It is occupied by geese who charge the system. Downstream services public sewers.
  15. The spirulina, the chlorella, irish moss and the moss are all intentional cultures. The other aquatic plants may have incidentally been introduced, or, may have grown due to fertilization. The stream was relatively clear of anything but flesh eating bacteria originally. I was thinking of adding fish but I wouldn't know which ones and I'm afraid they would eat the tadpoles which would starve the herron's. The main waterway has trout. I initiated another small water system about 12 miles away. It was rather sulfurous. May have been septic. There are fish in the lower larger pond. Stripped bass and brim. Large turtles. Geese. The upper pond has lilly pads and frogs. That watershed system developed a few different aquatic organisms. Perhaps those are more like the Irish moss I was referring to. They may have been native. Trouble is the pond sat so long the whole thing exploded. Sort of hard to see the fish now. It was sort of shallow so I'm sure they don't mind. Last time I was there the swamp gas was not completely digested but there was progress. The water shed is approximately 10% disturbed earth and a large fraction of impermeable asphalt. Septic could be 300-400 person daytime usage. It was an old farm with several arborist trees, other wise deciduous with a detritus pond.
  16. There is a frog in the grass. He might live in that hole. I don't know. The rock snot that resembles hair in the water is Spriulina. This is a frog and a snake with spirulina. The snake is hidding under a stick and some spirulina. This is leaf detritus. This is a bird. Behind him is a horse pasture. This is spirulina and the green slimey stuff on top is chlorella. This is a rock near the stream. This is horse. This rock snot sits in the shade. If it is not spirulina it may be irish moss of some sort but from what I understand irish moss grows in the ocean. Snack apple leaves. This is eutrophic scum left from dumping things in my stream. I don't know what the bubbles are in this photo. http://imageshack.us/a/img41/5218/dsc00358vc.jpg Different aquatic plants. http://imageshack.us/a/img833/8435/dsc00356km.jpg Rockway. Notice the moss I grew. hahaha. Real dominate stuff. http://imageshack.us/a/img853/9104/dsc00361kt.jpg Frog again but tadpoles are visible. http://imageshack.us/a/img845/9673/dsc00365r.jpg
  17. If the membrane is permeable only to "X", osmolarity is irrelevant or the term is inappropriately applied here. The osmosis of "X" will be pressure dependent. If pressures are equal nothing will happen outside of some tainting due to Van der Waals force. X is not water, so the water on the other side of the membrane will become more diluted if X crosses the membrane. This would ultimately result in edema or perhaps dehydration depending on what X is.
  18. I'll allow for any form of "transformation" that does not involve complete destruction of the base material. In other words, the metabolic pathway must be direct. Ammonium need not be involved. The pathway may range from 100% success to 0% success. Branching of the pathway would be relevant. Anything goes, so long as it is concise. Edit: Scratch the first part. If the pathway involves destruction to base materials (rudimentary sulfur compounds specifically) this is acceptable as well. Just as long as we have L-amino acids as an end result, or, rather no D-amino acids left.
  19. Well, I could tell you, but, then I wouldn't get my straight answer. hahaha. DL-methionine is an ingredient in foodstuffs. Particularly foodstuffs for animals. Petfood is one example. Chicken feed is the second. I've seen in listed in horse supplements. DL-methionine is not directly added to any food intended for human consumption, in the US, as far as I know. It may be *hidden*, per FDA regulation as an "artificial flavor". I think Hershey's Chocolate may contain DL-methionine and/or DL-phenylalinine. D-amino acids are not ordinarily found in nature. D-methionine is definitely never found in the natural world. D-methionine has somehow eluded the classification of a drug by being coupled with L-methionine. Please refer to the definition of "drug", foreign substance, harmful chemical and possible carcinogen.
  20. OK. Transaminase in Mammals. I am particularly concerned conversion of DL-methionine to L-methionine in mammals. Or any animal. Primary Questions Does "Transaminase" exist? Does "Transaminase" convert DL-methionine to L-methionine? Which "Transaminase" converts DL-methionine to L-methionine? Is the aforementioned "Transaminase" encoded in the DNA of an animal? Primary sub-questions will follow as needed.

    flowers

    The fragrances are hydrocarbons that the plant has produced by photosynthesis. I think that, for the most part, flowers convert intermediate hydrocarbon sap at the base of the flower. Maybe someone could provide a dissection of a flower. My reasoning is that the aromatics and fragrant chemicals (ketones smell) are not typically precursor to structural hydrocarbons. Structural hydrocarbons (for example: ligands, cellulose, enzymes, lipids, nutrients) are typically retained inside of the plants vascular system, if not especially inside of the cellular structures. The purpose of these chemicals may be to kill pathogens (perhaps would be pathogens). Often times floral fragrances are sort of queer. They may act as a chemical directive for micro-eukaryotes. Bio-flavaniods are an example.
  22. TheCuts (OP) must be hard at work on something. @Moontanman: you eat that? You have some large containers. I've got a creek with some ponds in my yard that is producing Spirulina and some rooted aquatic plants. I don't think I have any Azolla yet. I'll try to remember to photograph some of it tomorrow. What sort of critters do you get with that stuff? My ponds are predominately producing frogs and dragonflies. Herron's eat the frogs and last year been several herron's hatched. I had some Golden Eagles but they left for some reason. Probably because of the vultures. They were attracted -- IMO -- to red algae derived DHA (WalMart brand). Red alga might be a good freshwater aquatic species for the nutrients. I kind of thought he wanted to make a solar panel out of plants. Maybe not. Saran wrap, kelp and an extension cord is about the cheapest you could get. Gel capsule gelatin would probably extend the lifespan of the panel and help contain the high currents that will flow through the system. OK maybe it won't work. But that would prove something in itself, right?
  23. I think I'm close to 40º latitude, elevation 200-300 feet (>100 meters). I don't think I would be able to achieve those temperatures consistently where I live except in extreme heat. Unfortunately, I cannot make conclusion regarding the environment in my garden because of herbicidal usage in the near proximity. Most of the houses and other buildings do not accommodate for the heat we have had in past years. They tend to be lossy but also tend to build up a lot of heat. I have wondered if this is because the environment was different *then*, when houses were first engineered. Structures that were built prior to the invention of heat pump AC technology may provide some clues. Obviously humans cannot survive, by ordinary means, in environments which would elevate body temperature. Where do you get CO2 from?
  24. Insects are really some of the most diverse animals on the planet. They have intelligence. Last year I had butterflies in my yard. They are so beautiful. But insects are advantageous. Given an environment that is not fully controlled they may find there is the ability to flourish where it is not appropriate, and was not the intention of this world. And so you deter them, kill them, starve them, etc. "Pesticides" are the least understood tools of those who use them. It would surprise you how unaware a pesticide user is of what he or she is doing or what the pesticide does. I kill slugs and worms I see. I am not an ant farm either. But otherwise I have birds and bats who take most. Spiders should not be within my reach. None other than it is all just part of some other greater world plan ecosystem thing. It's not as bad as you think. Really just curious. Oh wasps. Thought you meant hornets. In your mud sort of a pain.
  25. Moss is about the least productive plant I could possibly think of. No offense. 1... Solar panels are like what sort of efficiency? Help me out. 2... Jesus. When did freshmen get to be so classy? The product is called "80-in-one". It contains plant hormones which will stimulate the erratic and spurious growth you talk about. 3... You should realize that flat and all directions expansive is hexagon. But you have to be careful here because that also would require the cells to respect one another. What I'm getting is you want to spread them like cream cheese and get a result that doesn't require space. Or tubes for that matter. you know that you can get more light and avoid refraction better with a tube. Or something optical. 4... Why a thin sheet? Isn't that the definition of a leaf? 5... "Plants" perform a metabolic process that derives energy from light with chloroform. It creates an electric potential which is used to reduce H+ producing NADH. "Glucose" is blood sugar. Is this for diabetics? (I again would like to know if green peas will assimilate DL-methionine.) Plants don't make that at least not at first. There are two types of carbon fixation: C4 and C3. C4 produces malic acid. C3 produces 3-phosphoglycerate by cracking ribulose bisphosphate. You should review these photosynthetic pathways. What I am thinking however is that you want electricity rather than carbon fixation. I think kelp is a flat piece of saline tolerant material. You can buy it at the grocery stores, it is Japanese cuisine so Asian shop probably carry it. It is not "seaweed", it is like a sheet of cardboard. It is dried so don't expect it to be like much more than a zombie but it might do something especially if it is fresh. CAUTION it swells. Do not eat it raw. So you have a kelp in a closed saline (like salty ocean water, try adding potassium) environment. There is a lead between the sealed kelp and load (you might just use a multi-meter). The other lead of the load goes to "ground". You will need a ground wire. I don't know if that works but it might. See, the problem is getting the back side of the kelp to release the electrons in a potentiated fashion? And how do we get electrons back into the system? Batteries have two sides. I've made methamphetamines with a sheep skin condom before and I think kelp has the ionic barrier you would need to make a battery. I hope that helps. 6... Those are called branches, sticks, "the carrot top", etc. See #2.
