diginet | how does one get PCR'd DNA into a plasmid vector, do you simply design the primers to correspond to splice sites of the primer? | 00:17 |
---|---|---|
yashgaroth | basically, yes | 00:18 |
diginet | ah okay, that's less obnoxious than I thought | 00:19 |
diginet | do you have any suggestions on which vector to use for pichia? | 00:19 |
diginet | (I've decided to try pichia first, as according to a few papers, it seems it should be viable for my purposes) | 00:20 |
yashgaroth | nope, never worked with pichia | 00:21 |
diginet | ah okay | 00:21 |
diginet | I'm excited, I'm pretty sure I might be able to pull this off :) | 00:21 |

ThomasEgi | kanzure, whisteling and beeping is quite a good interface to machines. a lot better than natural language | 07:17 |
kanzure | archels: hi | 07:17 |
katsmeow-afk | it's slow but unambiguously error free? | 07:18 |
archels | hello kanzure | 07:20 |
kanzure | archels: what have you been up to? | 07:20 |
ThomasEgi | katsmeow-afk, not error free. but a lot less interpretation and processing is needed to make some sense from the input | 07:20 |
* katsmeow-afk nods | 07:21 | |
archels | kanzure: nothing mindboggling, some electronics hobby work on making a "digital poster" for showcasing my research. | 07:21 |
kanzure | haha.. "Well, my poster is about how I spent all this time making this poster.." | 07:21 |
archels | :) lots of fun building it, though | 07:22 |
archels | last time I looked at my actual research was 3 days ago, when I found that my problem was so stiff that none of the solvers built into the package I'm using can handle it. | 07:23 |
kanzure | hmm "People who receive organ donations from "living" donors are more likely to survive than those who receive organs from "deceased" donors." | 07:27 |
kanzure | maybe dead organs aren't useful | 07:27 |

katsmeow-afk | "the donor died of kidney failure, so did the recipient of the kidney, can anyone find the connection?" | 07:28 |
katsmeow-afk | i was/am desperately trying to not use chlorine in a potable water system, but seems it's a good idea even after 0.5 micron filters and carbon filters,, else i haveto do reverse osmosis or distillation | 07:34 |

audy | Has anyone attempted to purify their own active T. aquaticus DNA polymerase holoenzyme? | 08:03 |
kanzure | holoenzyme? | 08:03 |
nmz787 | holoenzye is enzyme with multiple subunits | 08:04 |
nmz787 | intact | 08:04 |
kanzure | so.. does that just mean multiple purifications from lysate? | 08:05 |
nmz787 | didnt kno pol was holoenzyme, is that just T. aq/? | 08:05 |
nmz787 | oloenzyme | 08:07 |

nmz787 | Etymology: Gk, holos + en, in, zymos, ferment | 08:07 |
nmz787 | a complete enzyme-cofactor complex that gives rise to full catalytic activity. | 08:07 |
audy | they all are | 08:08 |
audy | oh neat you can precipitate it from cell lyase | 08:10 |
audy | using polyethylenimine which creates balls of condensed, positively charge DNA. | 08:11 |

delinquentme | kanzure, how does one monitize reproducibility | 09:47 |
roksprok_ | doesn't that take care of itself if you do useful stuff? | 09:53 |
kanzure | roksprok_: nope.. a lot of biology is "try 20 times, it works once, let's roll with it" | 09:54 |
roksprok_ | like if your stuff is reproducable and useful you can start a company or license it or people will cite you a lot | 09:54 |
kanzure | you can license it even if it is barely reproducible, haha | 09:54 |

F7 | Just reading through datasheets over here, I just got caught up on the log in this channel | 10:49 |
F7 | delinquentme: did you ask the resolution on an analog distance sensor earlier? hahahahaha | 10:51 |
F7 | Resolution is one pixel, the distance resolution is defined by your ADC | 10:52 |
F7 | and to a degree, the physical properties of the object you're pointing at | 10:52 |
F7 | It's a little light and a detector | 10:53 |
F7 | you tell distance by the amount reflected back | 10:53 |
F7 | It's not meant to do anything accurate, or beyond like a foot | 10:53 |
F7 | What did you want it for? | 10:54 |
-!- augur [~augur@206.196.186.207] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] | 11:03 | |

delinquentme | F7, what do you know about sensors | 11:21 |
-!- roksprok_ [~roksprok@74.83.205.124] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 11:21 | |
F7 | I know many things about sensors | 11:30 |
F7 | What kind of accuracy do you need? | 11:30 |
F7 | consider quadrature if it's linear or rotational encoding | 11:30 |
F7 | Old dot matrix printers are built like tanks, for example. they're heavy enough that backlash isn't such a problem, and the linear axes are generally good to a twentieth of a mm. | 11:31 |
F7 | And those are ooooold printers | 11:31 |
F7 | A quadrature encoder gets 4 times the accuracy of the CPI of the encoder strip it is designed for | 11:35 |
nmz787 | delinquentme: what are you doing that needs distance sensing? | 11:36 |
delinquentme | pumps | 11:36 |
F7 | that's odd | 11:36 |
delinquentme | ultrasound are ehh | 11:36 |
F7 | syringe pump? | 11:36 |
delinquentme | lasers could be expensive ( havnt looked into it ) | 11:36 |
delinquentme | yeahh and the LH | 11:36 |
F7 | why does it have to be contactless? | 11:37 |
delinquentme | magnetic sensors are fairy accurate but they've got interaction issues | 11:37 |
delinquentme | it doesnt | 11:37 |
F7 | oh | 11:37 |
F7 | how accurate does it need to be? | 11:37 |
nmz787 | pump i was working on a while ago was for sterile solutions | 11:37 |
nmz787 | was calculating the delta V of a hanging droplet | 11:38 |
nmz787 | that was in a closed drip tube | 11:38 |
nmz787 | getting nanoliter precision with wideVGA camera | 11:38 |
F7 | I don't know why you're thinking along the lines of these esoteric sensing solutions | 11:40 |
F7 | If you can do contact, you can do cheap, easy, accurate stuff | 11:40 |
F7 | I don't know if it's just your unfamiliarity, delinquentme, or if I'm missing some kind of big limiting factor inherent to your setup | 11:41 |
ThomasEgi | F7, pumping nanoliters means.. moving veryveryveryvery little, mechanical setups simply have a hard time keeping up with that | 11:42 |
F7 | I'm assuming the syringe pump is being driven with rotational to linear means? | 11:43 |
F7 | like, some kind of mechanical advantage? | 11:43 |
F7 | The same mechanical advantage can be used to advantage of the sensor | 11:43 |
ThomasEgi | that wont take mechanical problems into account. backlash, slip, etc. | 11:43 |
F7 | I am unsure of the exact setup, so I cannot be sure whether or not that would be advantageous | 11:44 |
F7 | the syringe could just be very overbuilt, or it could be dependent on some slip-shod springy plastic parts. | 11:45 |
F7 | Okay, some info about linear encoders | 11:46 |
F7 | 500 CPI strips are about four bucks per inch | 11:47 |
F7 | the encoder that goes with it is like 30 bucks | 11:47 |
ThomasEgi | .. compare to a camera chip. | 11:47 |
F7 | both can be scrapped from cheap printers | 11:47 |
nmz787 | ThomasEgi: yeah it was r&d for a blood infusion pump | 11:47 |
F7 | that nets 1/2000th of an inch | 11:48 |
nmz787 | they have a really wide dynamic range | 11:48 |
F7 | What is this camera volumetric stuff y'all are talking about? | 11:48 |
ThomasEgi | F7, a scanner chip can has 4800dpi | 11:48 |
nmz787 | F7, basically just pointing a camera at a hanging droplet in a closed tube, watching as it grows, calculating delta V from frame to frame (filtering the noise was where I basically left the project) | 11:49 |
delinquentme | everyone loves scraping shit from printers for some reason | 11:50 |

delinquentme | i guess its bc they're only making 1 off robotics? | 11:50 |
nmz787 | we were basically finding the edge of the droplet and rotating each row of pixels to get volume | 11:50 |
ThomasEgi | delinquentme, until the day where you want to print something and notice... crap. my printer is all butched | 11:50 |
delinquentme | ^ | 11:50 |
delinquentme | but yes F7 i know little about sensors | 11:51 |
nmz787 | each row was diameter, since pi*r^2 = area, the row gave us area and since we knew the height we got slices of volumes | 11:51 |
delinquentme | F7, where would I get this sensor for the 500 CPI strips | 11:52 |
nmz787 | then added the slices together to get drop vol | 11:52 |
nmz787 | then looked at the differential of those | 11:52 |
-!- ParahSailin_ [~parah@adsl-69-151-198-66.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds] | 11:52 | |
delinquentme | nmz787, am I wrong in thinking that all you need is a single side view of a droplet? | 11:52 |
nmz787 | nope | 11:52 |
delinquentme | as the droplet will be uniform size | 11:52 |
nmz787 | well | 11:53 |
nmz787 | when the drop detaches, it actually jumps around | 11:53 |
nmz787 | so there was talk about adding a second view | 11:53 |
delinquentme | so you just need the 'footprint' to determine the vol | 11:53 |
delinquentme | oh sure | 11:53 |
nmz787 | or using structured light | 11:53 |
nmz787 | when the drop detaches, it actuallt sends a ringing/oscillation of pressure up the orifice and into the feed tuube | 11:54 |
kanzure | stereographic drop images? heh | 11:54 |
nmz787 | but yeah like I said, i left the project when we were finally getting somewhere with the theoretical stuff and moving into cleaning up the real signals | 11:54 |
F7 | www.usdigital.com has quadrature encoders | 11:54 |
F7 | I've never bought one ever, they're easy to scrap | 11:55 |
F7 | A cheap laser mouse will have about a 2000 dpi sensor, and run at over 10K FPS | 11:55 |
F7 | something like that would be amazing for sensing | 11:56 |
F7 | the 'gamer' mice are probably much better | 11:56 |
ThomasEgi | F7, yeah but they have rather low resolution and for most models, there is no way to access the actual image data | 12:00 |
ThomasEgi | just the final motion vector of the overall image. | 12:00 |
diginet | so, bio-rad has cuvettes for $15, but Invitrogen has them for $150, am I missing something, or there just insane mark-up going on there? | 12:00 |
diginet | oh wait, nevermind, bio-rad is selling a pack of 5, rather than 50 | 12:02 |
nmz787 | kanzure: http://eclecti.cc/hardware/blinded-by-the-light-diy-retinal-projection | 12:02 |
F7 | ThomasEgi, let me check you on that. I'm pretty sure most of those sensors send info to a separate microcontroller to extract the vector. | 12:04 |
ThomasEgi | these days, sensors, motion extraction and usb controllers usualy are on one-chip | 12:07 |
kanzure | nmz787: what's the resolution | 12:10 |
kanzure | neat the guy also did lytro's file format.. http://eclecti.cc/computervision/reverse-engineering-the-lytro-lfp-file-format | 12:14 |
kanzure | oh neat. he's friends with randallagordon (who used to hang out here?) | 12:18 |
F7 | I'm looking through datasheets, and most low resolution ones I can find go offboard | 12:18 |
F7 | I haven't found any sheets for 'gamer' mice yet | 12:18 |
nmz787 | kanzure: for the retina projector? the image was only 1.5mm, so if he was using the whole DLP chip, i'd say pretty good | 12:19 |
F7 | it actually looks pretty straightforward to piece the high speed video together with a micro | 12:19 |
nmz787 | i dont think it really quite works though | 12:19 |
nmz787 | the eye is supposed to be the focus, and the image rests on your retina | 12:20 |
nmz787 | so to get a seemingly big image, the incoming light needs to have a pretty wide angle | 12:20 |
kanzure | i would love to have per-cone addressable input to my eye :( | 12:22 |
kanzure | er.. cone-addressable | 12:23 |

diginet | what is the lysis buffer composed of? | 13:45 |
ParahSailin__ | depends on your sample | 13:46 |
ParahSailin__ | you google it | 13:46 |
diginet | could I use laundry detergent, or would that not provide good enough quality? | 13:46 |
kanzure | it would probably be more specific? | 13:47 |
ParahSailin__ | normally theres tris involved | 13:48 |
diginet | ah | 13:48 |
diginet | now, another thing I was thinking about: let's say I manage to transfect the genes into a cell, and I am able to culture a sizable quantity of them in some sort of tank, is there anyway to extract the protein (provided it is excreted of course) without disrupting the rest of the mixture? | 13:49 |
ParahSailin__ | since i know what you are doing, you would go on mobio and their dna extraction kits come with bead beaters and all the buffers you need | 13:50 |

ParahSailin__ | might need to use an institutional mailbox, which i still have | 13:54 |
diginet | thank you so much, again | 13:54 |
diginet | but yeah, if I were the CEO of some corporation, which was trying to produce a recombitant protein on an industrial scale, how would I go about it? I could culture the transgenic cells, and then desctructively extract the protein, but that seems a waste. Is there anyway to efficiently get it out of the tank with minimal disturbance to the culture? | 13:56 |
ParahSailin__ | that spidroin has a golgi secretion tag on it | 13:57 |
kanzure | hairy root cultures | 13:57 |
ParahSailin__ | it will be in the supernatant | 13:57 |
kanzure | in some biofuel operations they do secreting oils and then you harvest the oils from the pond scum (or something) | 13:57 |
F7 | Just press it like it were olives? | 13:57 |
nmz787 | i know some transgenics use secretion tags, so the golgi apparatus exports the proteins in vesicles which fuse to the cell membrane, releasing their contents into the extracellular medium (broth) | 13:58 |
kanzure | what's wrong with regularly sacrificing a part of your culture? | 13:58 |
nmz787 | wasteful | 13:58 |
diginet | I know, it should excrete it, but is it trivial to extract the protein from the broth efficienctly? | 13:58 |
nmz787 | more overhead | 13:58 |
nmz787 | its a lot easier to extract from broth than intracellular | 13:59 |

kanzure | how long will a channel cut take on the cutter? like 1min/mm? | 15:50 |
kanzure | uh | 15:50 |
kanzure | 1mm/min | 15:50 |
fenn | that's ridiculously slow | 15:51 |
kanzure | well. it's worth knowing. | 15:52 |
kanzure | i think the total channel length will probably add up to multiple millimeters so.. it's important to know how long it would take | 15:52 |
nmz787 | I think fenn said 1000rpm / 60 s/min * (635microns/turn) | 15:52 |
kanzure | yes but it also depends on the material/laser | 15:53 |
nmz787 | Pdms comes off fast | 15:53 |
nmz787 | But that would be our upper limit | 15:53 |

-!- F7 [~Adium@safekick-americas-2.consolidated.net] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] | 16:07 | |
nmz787 | So thats significantly more than your few mm comment earlier | 16:07 |
kanzure | ah true | 16:08 |
nmz787 | At 1000rpm that's 16.66 turns per sec, which is about 10.5mm per sec | 16:09 |
nmz787 | Or 1cm per sec | 16:09 |

juul | hey kanzure | 16:11 |
kanzure | nmz787: yeah i imagine we'd have a stock of uncuts | 16:11 |
fenn | nmz787: am i missing something? 50cm*50micron = 0.25 cm^2 | 16:11 |
nmz787 | and I figure 30 mins to bond 2 layers, at least in beginning | 16:12 |
fenn | if so, why do we need such a big stage? | 16:12 |
kanzure | no this was just a storage area | 16:12 |
nmz787 | Fenn you need space between the channels | 16:12 |
fenn | yeah, 50 microns ought to be enough, no? | 16:12 |
fenn | anyway it increases linearly with spacing between channels | 16:12 |
fenn | to a first order approximation | 16:13 |
nmz787 | I calf 3.55 cm per side for the 20000 drop column/pipe | 16:14 |
nmz787 | Calc | 16:14 |
fenn | let's go over those calculations | 16:14 |

kanzure | let's say 5 or 10 microns in between drops? | 16:18 |
kanzure | channel is as wide as the drop | 16:18 |
nmz787 | 20 Micron drop * 25000 drops = 50000 microns long | 16:18 |
fenn | and spacing between drops is what? | 16:18 |
nmz787 | 20 Micron wide channel, plus 2.5 Micron wall on each side | 16:18 |
kanzure | yeah that's 50mm not 50cm | 16:18 |
nmz787 | So 25 micron width per channel | 16:19 |
kanzure | 2.5 micron wall will probably break, but it's worth exploring | 16:19 |

kanzure | and the dna is attached to the beads | 16:26 |
fenn | ok how big are the beads? | 16:26 |

fenn | who cares about biosafety | 16:28 |
fenn | this is DNA | 16:29 |
kanzure | this isn't even DNA yet | 16:29 |

yashgaroth | safety for the dna, not for the user | 16:29 |
nmz787 | That's not including the turns on the ends to connect each row, actually | 16:29 |
n_bentha | u just don't want contamination of dust, bacteria, etc | 16:30 |
fenn | the system's sealed, it's not open to the air | 16:30 |

kanzure | moIDKfaa *damn | 16:30 |
fenn | nmz787: if you think about it, the turns add to the path length | 16:31 |
fenn | imagine a spiral instead of a zigzag | 16:31 |
kanzure | where does the spiral exit ? | 16:31 |
fenn | nowhere | 16:31 |
fenn | why would it need to exit? | 16:32 |
fenn | okay, two spirals | 16:32 |
kanzure | oh you could do a double spiral, right.. | 16:32 |
kanzure | heh | 16:32 |
fenn | we'll have to have 2 zigzags | 16:32 |
nmz787 | Exit through the top layer? | 16:32 |
fenn | it just needs a volume in the center to collect working fluid | 16:32 |
kanzure | 2x spiral means once it gets to the "center" it starts going "out" | 16:32 |

kanzure | i should probably know what this chip does before i keep citing it | 16:44 |

fenn | i wonder why the channel width varies so much | 16:50 |
kanzure | between labs? | 16:51 |
fenn | well, that too, but if you look at the image, the red channels seem to shrink and grow as they cross other channels | 16:52 |
fenn | this image http://m.sciencemag.org/content/309/5731/137/F1.large.jpg | 16:52 |
kanzure | pressure valves.. where they cross, you're trying to increase the amount of pressure to drive down the membrane to cover the other channel | 16:52 |
kanzure | oh also it looks like they might be trying to control pressure or concentration? | 16:53 |
kanzure | like look under the word "loop" in green on the bottom left | 16:53 |
fenn | F7: the EZ430 is really chunky.. i'm not sure i want to wear it all the time | 16:53 |
fenn | under "loop", is that a valve? | 16:54 |
fenn | the one above "pump" looks like it's valving something | 16:55 |
kanzure | the one under loop is idk | 16:55 |
fenn | F7: for example it's hard to reach into my pocket with it on | 17:05 |

diginet | I'm immature and mature at the same time, I've always enjoyed the company of older people rather than my peers, but yet at the same time I like doing "childish" things, and am somewhat (well very) naive | 22:19 |

kanzure | https://plus.google.com/102967708777429109844/posts | 22:25 |
diginet | no, but seriously I hate Google with a fiery passion | 22:25 |
klafka | why? | 22:25 |
diginet | because, they're monopolist bastards | 22:26 |
klafka | how are they monopolist? | 22:26 |
joshcryer | Wait who is Eudoxia and how do we both know them kanzure? | 22:26 |
diginet | DON'T QUESTION ME | 22:26 |
diginet | I'm weird, I hate communism, but I also hate most big businesses | 22:26 |
klafka | why do you hate communism? | 22:26 |
yashgaroth | eudoxia is the resident uruguayan | 22:26 |
klafka | or big businesses? | 22:26 |
diginet | well, I'm weird in general, that is merely one facet of my hatred | 22:26 |
kanzure | klafka: don't poke the troll | 22:26 |
diginet | I'm not trolling :( | 22:27 |
diginet | sorry | 22:27 |
klafka | so you just irrationally dislike these things? | 22:27 |
klafka | or do you have reasons | 22:27 |
diginet | I go off on tangents | 22:27 |
kanzure | you hate like all of us | 22:27 |
joshcryer | yashgaroth, ahh yes I recall now. | 22:27 |
diginet | no, you guys are awesome | 22:27 |
diginet | I have rational and irrational reasons | 22:27 |
klafka | illuminative | 22:27 |
diginet | I more hate relativism/cultural marxism than communism itself | 22:27 |
diginet | but I think I already articulated that before | 22:28 |
diginet | but I do have TONS of irrational hatreds | 22:28 |
diginet | like flip flops | 22:28 |
diginet | I LOATHE THOSE VILE EXCUSES OF "SHOES" | 22:28 |

ParahSailin__ | lol | 22:29 |
diginet | oh, I already do | 22:29 |
diginet | colleges are full of douchebags, ugh | 22:30 |
klafka | i didn't drink or wear flip flops all through college | 22:30 |
klafka | it was pretty awesome | 22:30 |
diginet | actually, colleges have basically everything I hate about the world in one nice little tidy package | 22:30 |
klafka | learning? | 22:30 |
kanzure | libraries? | 22:31 |
klafka | academia? | 22:31 |
kanzure | women? | 22:31 |
klafka | frogs? | 22:31 |
diginet | Okay I like those | 22:31 |
klafka | you don't like women | 22:31 |
klafka | you've already said that | 22:31 |
diginet | I like women | 22:31 |
joshcryer | They have feet. | 22:31 |
diginet | I just don't like their feet | 22:31 |
diginet | but women are all right | 22:31 |

diginet | were you meaning to kick me? | 22:32 |
@kanzure | joshcryer: i am sorry bro | 22:32 |
yashgaroth | what's going onnnn | 22:32 |
joshcryer | I'm just glad to be first on the list. | 22:32 |
klafka | i'm going to watch st:tng and fall asleep :P | 22:32 |
diginet | does everyone hate me now? | 22:32 |
klafka | since i have to get up at 630 tomorrow | 22:32 |
klafka | no | 22:32 |
klafka | i'm pretty apathetif | 22:32 |
diginet | night night klafka | 22:32 |
@kanzure | diginet: nobody hates you | 22:32 |
klafka | apathetic | 22:32 |
diginet | ah okay | 22:32 |
@kanzure | but the signal to noise is all out of whack | 22:32 |
diginet | I'm sorry, my meds wear off about this hour | 22:33 |
joshcryer | I was barely contributing. But I was still the first to be listed in fail kick alias. :P | 22:33 |
fenn | eat dark green leafy vegetables | 22:33 |
klafka | i need to eat more of those | 22:33 |
diginet | is it just me or are colleges STD infected cesspools or exposed feet, drunkenness, and date-rape? | 22:34 |

kanzure | fenn's problem now | 22:35 |
diginet | because when I toured at Rice (no offense ParahSailin__) my guide person just seemed to brag about how they get drunk at parties and sleep around | 22:36 |
diginet | two things absolutely no appeal to me | 22:36 |
diginet | *with | 22:36 |
diginet | alright back to business: does anyone here know anything about continuous bioreactors? | 22:38 |
yashgaroth | yes | 22:39 |
diginet | what can you tell me about them? would it be hard for me to build one? | 22:41 |
yashgaroth | lots; yes | 22:41 |
diginet | should I just give up on that and go for batch? | 22:42 |
yashgaroth | yes, flasks are much easier unless you've got money to burn | 22:42 |
diginet | I wonder what kind of yields I could get with batch | 22:43 |
yashgaroth | absolute peak yields are 1-20 grams per liter, depending on cell type and how much effort you put into optimizing expression | 22:44 |
diginet | do you think DIY growth medium would be feasible? | 22:44 |
yashgaroth | for bacteria and yeast, sure | 22:45 |
yashgaroth | cells from multicellular organisms need blood factors | 22:45 |
diginet | I'm trying to use Pichia | 22:45 |
diginet | what are good sources for the nutrients I would need? | 22:46 |
yashgaroth | vegemite | 22:47 |
diginet | seriously? | 22:47 |
yashgaroth | yeast extract and salt, mixed with water | 22:47 |
yashgaroth | but you can get the various ingredients in bulk and mix them yourself for fairly cheap | 22:48 |
diginet | can one even buy that in the states? | 22:48 |
diginet | haha | 22:48 |
yashgaroth | it's sold as marmite | 22:48 |
diginet | this may sound stupid: would plant fertilizer work? | 22:49 |
ParahSailin__ | seriously i will borrow extra lb from my lab so that you dont have to do that | 22:49 |
yashgaroth | no not plant fertilizer | 22:49 |

diginet | ParahSailin__, wow, thanks for being so nice to me :) | 22:49 |
yashgaroth | but seriously it's pretty cheap for unicellulars, don't worry about that | 22:49 |
diginet | I didn't think so | 22:49 |
diginet | well, I'm going to need a fair amount of the spidroins to make any sizeable quantity of silk | 22:50 |

diginet | ah okay, night | 23:00 |
diginet | oh, I also adore classical music | 23:02 |
diginet | yashgaroth: one thing I'm potentially concerned about is the difficulty of purifying the protein | 23:03 |
-!- ctobin [~cory.tobi@DHCP-52-143.caltech.edu] has quit [] | 23:03 | |
yashgaroth | depends whether it'll start forming fibers in the media or during the purification | 23:04 |
yashgaroth | I dunno what conditions cause them to start polymerizing, but especially when purifying they'll be at high concentrations and close to each other | 23:05 |
yashgaroth | might be better off trying to dissolve one of those huge communal spiderwebs and weaving them into something else | 23:05 |
diginet | I'm not concerned with that as much, you have to induce polymerization by lowering the pH | 23:06 |
diginet | and extruding it | 23:06 |
diginet | (the act of squeezing causes fibers to form | 23:07 |
diginet | =) | 23:07 |
diginet | I'm just wondering how hard protein purification is in general | 23:07 |
yashgaroth | it can be easy | 23:07 |
yashgaroth | ...ish | 23:08 |
diginet | uh oh | 23:09 |
yashgaroth | I'm sure you can find a suitable method | 23:13 |
