kanzure"The nice bit about this arrangement is that it indeed more or less works as a CUPS printer on the network (you have to do a little more than just install the proper CUPS driver on your computer to get it to work). But after you got the driver to work, you can lasercut from any vector software. We usually use Inkscape for that purpose."07:10

katsmeow-afksorta off topic, but not, i wonder what happens if you build a UV-cureable polymer device, and then use it indefinately outside in sunlight, will it be UV damaged?07:35
kanzurepresumably after curing it can't cure more ?07:36
katsmeow-afkbut can it be broken apart?07:36
kanzurepresumably not with UV07:37
katsmeow-afkor, can it form additional bonds, and warp?07:37
katsmeow-afkonce cured, do they outgas, or can they be USDA approved for food contact?07:38
katsmeow-afkit's not outlandish set of questions, someone may want to print all or part of a pizza maker for use in sports tailgate parties07:39

katsmeow-afkthat brings up anotehr interesting question tho: after a pass of a UV diode to cure a plane in the resin, the deck lowers, should the diode carrier be oriented to harden the next plane AND still be pointed at the previous plane, to avoid hardening a thicker plane than desired? What is the depth of cure of a pass?07:51
katsmeow-afkif your Z step is .1mm, won't you get significant errors if the UV cure depth is 1mm?07:52
kanzurethere are people in #lemoncurry at the moment who could answer that question07:52
* katsmeow-afk is too shy07:52
kanzurealso: this is nice. http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/6856/high-standards-top-100-users-that-rarely-upvote07:52

nmz787so Simon says to try a blu-ray device first, due to the close working distance the lens may foul (i.e. get coated in smoke, or something like that), but said he thinks it will be fine09:19
nmz787he says if it does get messed up, then we can try a harder method09:19

delinquentmekanzure, one of the first things we need to address is that im getting a number of false negatives for the checking13:40
delinquentmespecifically the index 2008..2012 checking in skraper_addons.rb13:40
kanzuredescribe the problem more13:41
delinquentmeit searches the page given as the index page13:43
delinquentmeand the presumption I based it off of was that if it was an index page ... that somewhere on the page you'd be able to locate the strings 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 201213:44
delinquentmebut some journals were only started last year .. so they'd only have 2011213:44
delinquentmebasically "how do we check that this is the page for this journal which lists all the back issues"13:45
delinquentmewhat i refer to as the journal "index"13:45
kanzureuhh13:48
kanzurewhy not just look yourself?13:48
kanzurefor instance, certain sites will have a certain url structure for their journal backissue index13:50
kanzureor you can find the journal backissue from a certain link13:50

kanzureagrobacterium is my method of choice but he seems to want to do something else13:54
kommienzuspadtyeah i mean i dunno how you really transfect non-bacterial vector organisms13:54
kommienzuspadtI mean i know you can transfect mammalian cell culures with AAV13:54
kanzurein non-plant non-bacterial organisms you can do microinjection and electroporation and gene guns13:54
kommienzuspadtyeah but not w/ plasmids13:55
kommienzuspadtplasmids are bacterial only13:55
kommienzuspadti've used retroviruses to transfect mammalian cell line sbefore13:55

diginetoh hi kommienzuspadt14:08
kommienzuspadtsup14:08
kommienzuspadttell me about this thing with duckweed?14:08
kommienzuspadthow do you transfect a plant?14:08
kanzurehttp://protocol-online.org/14:08
diginetI haven't done it yet, I'm planning on trying to create transplasmonic duckweed with biolistics14:08
kanzurealso:14:08
kanzurewe have an alternative version of protocol-online.org being created14:08
kanzurebut that guy is offline at the moment14:08
delinquentmeohhh sweet thats the technical name for it14:09
diginetbiolistics?14:09
diginetyeah I think so14:09
delinquentmeyeah14:09
kommienzuspadtwait wait14:09
diginetit's kind of silly14:09
delinquentme"gene gun"14:09
diginet?14:09

delinquentme=]14:09
diginetgene guns, you coat tiny metal particles with DNA, shoot it in14:09
kommienzuspadtyeah so, im still pretty new in biomed14:09
diginetare you a PhD?14:09
kommienzuspadtStudent14:09
diginetPhD student? or undergrad student?14:10
kommienzuspadtright now i work in a lab that is heavy in cell motility14:10
kommienzuspadtBS/MS combo14:10
diginetsweet14:10
diginetwell, welcome14:10
kommienzuspadtdanke14:10
kommienzuspadtso i've done lots of bacterial transfection14:10
kommienzuspadtpretty simple14:10
diginetyep14:10
diginetplant transfection isn't so much14:10
kommienzuspadtand Im familiar with CaPO4 DNA transfection14:10
kommienzuspadtin mammalian cells14:11
kommienzuspadtand i know that a sister lab to the one I used to work for out west14:11
kommienzuspadtused AAV to introduce specific genes into their HEK293 cells14:11
diginetand even worse, I'm trying to transfect the chroloplast genome, instead of the nuclear genome ("plastome")14:11
kommienzuspadtbut I know nothing about gene guns...14:11
kommienzuspadtWeird14:11
kommienzuspadtyeah14:11
kommienzuspadtso tell me about it14:11
kommienzuspadtb/c i havent thought about plants since like intro bio14:11
diginetme either, I'm trying to tackle a DIY gene gun14:11
kommienzuspadtthat might be quite a tall order...14:12
_F7_I can help with gene gun DIY14:12
diginetfirst a caveat: I'm just an undergrad, and not even a bio major, my "specialty" is physics, this is a hobby for me, but a more accessible one than building a particle accelerator14:12
kommienzuspadthaha14:12
kommienzuspadtcertainly true14:12
diginet_F7_, you're the same as F71 one right? and yeah, thanks :)14:12
_F7_Yep, also, no problem.14:12
kommienzuspadtso14:13
_F7_On the easy end, I've got an old BB gun I can saw off14:13
-!- _0bitcount [~ulises11@81.61.34.232.dyn.user.ono.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving]14:13
_F7_but that's probably crap14:13
kommienzuspadthow14:13
kommienzuspadtlike14:13
kommienzuspadti don't even know where to begin I guess. How are you going to get it to work?14:13
diginetcool, well, anyway altering the chroloplast genome isn't really harder than the nuclear genome, the hard part is getting all the chrloroplasts to have the same modified DNA14:13
diginetjust read research14:13
diginetthe priciple of operation is rather simple14:13
kommienzuspadtlike so first of all14:13
diginetthey original built it with a gun barrel (literally)14:13
_F7_can the chloroplast take vaccuum?14:13
kommienzuspadtwhere aer you getting your vector14:13
_F7_oh wait14:14
diginetI'm going to have to make it14:14
kommienzuspadtout of...?14:14
_F7_why aren't you transforming like, pollen?14:14
kommienzuspadtwill it be plasmid? SS DNA?14:14
diginetjust pay to have it sequenced14:14
kommienzuspadtno but I mean, you need a physical construct to hold your mutant of interest14:14
diginetoh14:14
kommienzuspadtlike to transfect e. coli you have circular plasmid DNA14:14
diginetbiolistics uses no vector14:14
_F7_oh wait, duckweed is a budding plant isn't it14:14
diginet_F7_, yeah exactly14:14
diginetwhich is the good thing about it14:14
diginetit can flower, but the mechanism is poorly understood, and why bother with that anyway14:15
diginetyou just shoot a little particle coated with DNA into the cell14:15
diginetand it transforms it via homologous transformation14:15
diginetgenerally use E.Coli to clone the DNA though14:16
kommienzuspadtYeah e. coli is wicked east14:16
kommienzuspadteasy14:16
diginetanyhow, the reason for transforming the plastids are that they offer like 100-fold increases in expression over the nuclear genome14:16
diginetthe general procedure for homologizing the plastomes though is to make the cell go through dedifferentation on a lot of cells (which causes the plastid number to decrease) and then reverse, untill all your plastids are the one you want14:17
diginetyou just have to use an antibiotic resistance marker, and select very stringently for it, by continually increasing hte concentration14:18
diginet(you can roughly calculate the homology by how much of the antibiotic the cell can survive)14:18
kommienzuspadthow do you cause the plant t odedifferentiate?14:18
kommienzuspadtusing transcription factors?14:19
kommienzuspadtlike Sox etc14:19
kanzurei don't think sox is a thing in plants?14:19
kommienzuspadtand how d oyou select for the ones you want14:19
kommienzuspadtYeah I mean, its homolog14:19
kommienzuspadtor whatever, again, i know less about plants than Martha Stewart probably14:19
diginetkommienzuspadt, I don't rememeber exactly, but there definitely is a way14:19

kommienzuspadtyou'll also have to select for the cells that are succesfully transfected14:19
diginetyeah14:20
diginetbut anyway, one that's the case, hooray, because duckweed is very easy to grow14:20
diginetI calculated, I could roughly express 1kg of protein a day, assuming average expression rates, and optimal growth just on the area I have to work with14:21
yashgarothsame kommienzuspadt as on SA?14:21
kommienzuspadtYessir14:21

diginetkommienzuspadt, you just grow the duckweed plant14:22
diginetnothing to it14:22
kommienzuspadtyeah but how can you be sure that specific gene is being expressed?14:22
diginetuse a good promotor (cauliflower mosaic virus)14:22
kommienzuspadtok14:23
kommienzuspadtthats what i was wondering14:23
diginet*promoter14:23
kommienzuspadtis that an exogenous promotor?14:23
kommienzuspadtthe cauliflower virus will reliably put it where you want it on your plastome?14:23
diginetyes14:23
kommienzuspadthow do you know which of your plants will be successfully transduced with the virus?14:23
diginetuse a selective marker14:23
diginetno, I'm not using a virus14:24
diginetI'm just using the promoter from one14:24
diginetI use homologous transformation to get the the plastome to take it in14:24
diginetwhich admitteddly, isn't a deterministic process, but doesn't require a vector, so its easier14:24
kommienzuspadtyeah, i mean i guess that's my point-  what is the proess for selecting for properly transfected cells14:25
kommienzuspadtversus ones that are not?14:25
diginetantiobiotic resistance14:25
kommienzuspadtok, just like bugs14:25

kanzurenice14:30
delinquentmeit happens14:30
kanzureoh we should probably look up foreign language academic publishers14:30
delinquentmewe should talk about what the goals are14:31
kanzuredoes the README make sense14:31
delinquentmelike im venturing a guess but the majority of the good research will be in mandarin, english, russian, french, spanish maybe german14:32
delinquentmeidk14:32
delinquentmeyeah the readme is good14:32
kanzureok someone will be doing the mongodb integration tonight14:32
kanzure(not me)14:33

kanzurethey could pay billions but.. they wouldn't15:29
delinquentmeand run in the background on phones15:29
kanzureyeah15:29
kanzurefart apps or something15:29
delinquentmelol15:29
kanzureso that when the app is checked, the sysadmin figures it's benign15:29
delinquentmeohhh15:29
delinquentmeim saying get one of the reddit guys to read over the code and issue a statement that its safe15:29
delinquentmeand just post that shit to some colleges15:30
kanzureno you don't need anyone to read it15:30
delinquentmeto solved the "do we trust these guys to give phone access "15:30
kanzurei just mean a fart app so that if someone looks at the phone, it's not like "I AM RAPING KITTENS RIGHT NOW"15:30
delinquentmei thought the sys admin comment meant as far as the portion that hits the schools servers15:31
kanzurenothing hits the schools servers.. their network might be used if the student happens to be on campus15:31
delinquentmecorrect me if im wrong but most college students are sufficiently educated that they'd freely get behind this if we let them know whats happening15:31
delinquentmeespecially those in a science program15:31
kanzureyep15:31
kanzurebut you still have to make the app seem benign so if someone looks at the app trying to blame the student..15:31
delinquentmei also just realized that we'll be using their dataplan bandwidth15:32
kanzureno15:32
kanzureit's over wifi15:32
kanzurebecause you need the IP address from inside the school15:33
kanzurenot their att/verizon ip address15:33
delinquentmeooc cant the app just be run in the background as something without an interface?15:33
delinquentmePS15:33
delinquentmegetting app approval from apple will b e impossible15:33
kanzurenope.. they will approve fart apps15:35
kanzureor variations on fart apps15:35
yashgarothdon't they, like, check the source code?15:36
kanzureno15:36
yashgarothoh15:36
kanzureyou give them a compiled binary15:36
kanzureand they run the app and check off on guidelines15:36

-!- ziyadb [u4806@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-lmgtchxrruxbbzza] has joined ##hplusroadmap16:17
phillif you just have an RNAi transcript, you should get more copies into cells; you can use a very small plasmid16:17
yashgarothmaybe a kilobase shorter16:18
yashgarothall the regulatory and origin stuff is most of the bulk either way16:18
yashgarothalso, intracellular regulation doesn't extend to nearby non-transfected fibers, which may be an issue16:19
phillanother concern is, whatever method you're using to get dna into cells, how do you avoid some cells getting no copies while other cells get a lethally high number of copies?16:19
phill(probably less of an issue with muscle than with other tissue)16:19
yashgarothyou mean lethality from the transfection or the gene product?16:19
phillI'm more worried about over-using the siRNA machinery.16:20
philladding hairpins to a cell reduces its ability to express its native miRNA16:20
phillapparently they are already near max capacity16:21
yashgarothwouldn't surprise me16:21
yashgarothno one's really looked into siRNA network knockdown as a whole, especially in muscle16:22
yashgaroththat's why I like gene products16:22
phillare you planning on using a promoter not active in heart cells?16:24
phillI'm worried about heart muscle.16:24
yashgarothno, I don't expect the plasmid to reach the heart in any significant fashion16:24
phillwhy is that?16:24
yashgarothwithout direct electroporation, the efficiency is rather low16:24
yashgarothso almost all of it should be localized to the injection/electroporation site16:24
nmz787NERD POWER!16:24
nmz787:D16:24
phillsupposedly, muscle cells are capable of taking up naked DNA16:24
phillpeople disagree about that16:24
yashgarothlike, way more than other cells?16:24
phillbut in mice at least some people just inject naked DNA into the bloodstream.  yes, a lot more.  but there's some evidence this happens because they're using disease models, and diseased muscle cells can take up dna more easily.16:25
phillalso, they use high-pressure injection, which sometimes kills the mouse.16:26
kanzureah yes renal vein naked dna injection16:26
nmz787how do you use HP injection?16:26
yashgarothnaked DNA uptake is a lot higher in mice, and yes the hydrodynamic injection would probably have a lot more off-target uptake16:26
yashgaroththat's why I prefer electrotransfer16:26
nmz787seems like you'd need to counter the pressure, by placing the animal under more atmospheres16:26
yashgarothinternal and external pressure aren't linked16:27
phillinteresting idea, nmz78716:27
phillno?16:27
phillit works for scuba divers16:27
yashgarothno, that's why you can survive in a vacuum for a few minutes16:27
nmz787you're saying if I pump up my blood vessels, shit wont pop open?16:27
yashgaroththe lethality is mostly from popping cells16:27
phillbut, if it did work, then the high pressure injection would give no advantage.16:27
yashgaroththat too16:28
nmz787i thought vacuum survival is because your bones are blood vessels that arent compressible/expandable16:28
phillinstead of a high pressure injection, put your mouse in a vacuum.  :)16:28
yashgarothit's the same reason a sphere of water in space doesn't immediately explode into individual molecules16:28
philldoesn't it?16:29
yashgarothnah16:29
phillhas anybody even tried that...?16:29
yashgarothsure, when they expel astronaut urine16:29
phillI would think that would just be surface tension, and it would only hold droplets together16:29
yashgarothwell skin is an effective surface tension16:29
phillalso, the urine might freeze rapidly16:30
yashgarothargh what am I, a physicist?16:30
yashgarothhigh-pressure injection is promising for limb injections, I'll admit16:30
Vicarioushi16:31
delinquentmeare there any beagleboard / raspberry pi type operations which are commerically working?16:31
delinquentmewhich have cashola16:31
phillyashgaroth, what do you want a $10k centrifuge for?16:31
nmz787delinquentme: isn't raspPi and bb working16:31
yashgarothmostly spinning down the bacteria for the plasmid preps16:32
yashgarothalso it needs to be refrigerated16:32
delinquentmeraspberrypi isnt commercial and neither is bb16:32
delinquentmeI mean they're got massive companies w expense budgets16:32
phillyou can stick a centrifuge in a refrigerator16:32
nmz787delinquentme: what do you mean, isn't selling something commerce?16:32
philldo you need more than 25,000 RPM?16:32
yashgarothmaybe 5000g's, rpm's depends on the rotor size16:33
phillI think plasmid preps just need an eppendorf 5415c16:33
phillebay, $20016:33
phillstick it in the fridge16:33
yashgarothfor minipreps, not gigapreps16:33
phillgigapreps?16:33
yashgaroth10 milligrams at a time, not 10 micrograms16:33
phillhow did you calculate how much final material you need?16:34
nmz787y do you need so much?16:34

nmz787also are you starting with coli16:34
nmz787?16:34
yashgarothyes16:34
nmz787doesn't that need HPLC to get rif of the endo toxs16:35
yashgarothI figure 2mg/injection, and you're gonna need quite a few to get a noticeable effect16:35
yashgarothno that's what the triton x-114 is for16:35
yashgarothhplc is also waaay too low-throughput16:35
philloh, so when you say electroporation, you mean getting a big electrostim machine with electrodes16:35
yashgarothbasically a gel power supply hooked up to needles16:35
phillor do you mean needles?16:35
philloh.16:35
yashgarothsurface electroporation works worse the bigger your target16:36
kanzurephill: warning, i think yashgaroth's equipment cost estimates are all wrong :)16:36
kanzureyou can build a centrifuge safely for much less than $10k16:36
yashgarothI try to estimate high in case of cost overruns, but yes with enough ebay-fu you could do it for less16:36
phillI have wondered whether interference stim might be better for electroporation.  AFAIK nobody has ever tried it.16:37
nmz787yashgaroth: two years ago on craigslist i saw a new benchtop centrifuge with fridge for <$1k16:37
nmz787i'm not sure you could use falcon tubes or just eppendorfs tho16:37
yashgarothlike, RNAi electroporation?16:37
phillcurrent electroporation techniques are just straightforward voltage.16:38
yashgarothnmz, most of the work is in 250mL bottles and 50mL tubes16:38
phillbut physical therapy electrostim is done by interference between two alternating currents16:38
yashgarothto trigger muscle contraction, you mean?16:39
phillyes. allows you to get a high-frequency electric field spread out over a large area without burning the flesh near the electrodes.16:39
phillnot of as much use in mice.16:40
yashgarothif it makes pores form, then sure, but you don't necessarily want a large area outside of the injection site16:40
phillhow many injections are we talking about?16:40
yashgaroth'as many as it takes'16:40
phillhow many cc's of tissue per injection?16:40
yashgarothapproximately 116:40
phillbcoz if the answer is 1, you are in for a lot of pain16:40
phillyikes16:40
yashgarothheh16:40
yashgarothyou can optimize the voltage/current for that to some  degree, but yeah16:41

yashgarothif the choice was between muscles that have twice the capacity, versus muscles that are twice as big, I'd pick the first option16:52
yashgarothmaybe that's just me :/16:52
nmz787how long do you think the effect would take?16:53
nmz787and last?16:53
nmz787can i inject this week, and have beach bod next week?16:53
phillno16:53
yashgaroththere's a hard cap on the rate of muscle growth16:54
kanzurei am a little disappointed that nobody here takes steroids16:54
kanzurei should recruit someone from bodybuilding.com's forums16:54
nmz787is it growth or expansion of existing cells' volume?16:54
kanzureor hell maybe there's an appropriate goon..16:54
yashgarothincrease in both the number and size of fibers, but mostly just size16:54
nmz787so that's not growth in the sense of fibers multiplying16:55
nmz787but still limited you say?16:55
yashgarothin what sense?16:56
kanzurephill: look for the private message16:56
phillno one knows what the limits would be in humans16:56
kanzurenmz787: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bodybuilding/16:56
phillbut muscle doesn't grow very fast, and you'd get stretch marks if it did16:56
kanzuremuscle growth is an interesting research topic16:56
yashgarothwith combined inhibitors in transgenic models, the total increase is about 300%16:56
kanzure"just exercise! it'll grow because.. well just because"16:56
kanzureanyway that link has my paper dump on muscle growth research (not myostatin)16:57
kanzurejust normal "exercise a muscle and observe wtf"16:57
phill"limits" is misleading16:57
phillhow much risk do you want?16:57
kanzurewell take the point at which a human dies16:58
philldoubling your muscle mass would probably lead to an early death16:58

kanzurenot so much any more17:03
kanzurenow it's all paleoCR or something17:03
yashgaroththey're all too weak to type now17:03

nmz787you wouldn17:04
nmz787t17:04
nmz787be pounding your liver17:04
nmz787right, it would require protein for sure17:04
phillregardless of what individual CR people do,  if you are a mammal, that enhancing growth tends to shorten your lifespan.17:04
phillnot because of the effects of tthe growth, but because all the pathways that need to switch on for you to grow, or to sustain muscle mass, also turn off the pathways that extend life, such as DNA repair or apoptosis or stem cell quiescence.17:05
yashgarothluckily muscle doesn't get cancer17:05
kanzureis that true?17:06
nmz787heart cancer doesnt exist?17:06
yashgarothit's absurdly rare17:06
kanzurewell, i suppose a heart is likely to be one of the more optimized organs17:06
yashgarothmultinucleated cells have difficulty becoming malignant17:06
nmz787well would myostatin inhibition turn on any of those pathways?17:06
phillhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Deaths_from_muscle_cancer17:06
phillbut, yes, rare17:06
kanzurenmz787: probably as a downstream consequence17:06

epitronreprap represent21:24
diginetI'm just morally oppossed to the MakerBot people21:25
diginetbleh21:25
diginetMakerBot is a good lesson on how to sell an inferior product with significant markup21:26
kanzureand yet adrian bowyer still dumped $25k into makerbot21:26
diginetmaybe he did, but I still hate those tools21:27
delinquentmeepitron, do you have a reprap?21:33
epitronnope!21:34
delinquentmei just mean something that I can make parts with21:34
* Mokbortolan_ reads a book claiming that the early christians were really an essenian mushroom cult, and "Jesus Christ" was a reference to hallucinogenic mushrooms.21:40
katsmeow-afki would not have thought of mushrooms in the desert21:42
katsmeow-afksnorting frankensence, maybe21:42
kanzurephew.21:47
Mokbortolan_err, I don't think that place was a desert back then21:48
kanzuredelinquentme: ok, what's the next site on the list21:49
delinquentmeits in the files there21:50
yashgarothit was as much of a desert as it is now, which is 'not a desert in some spots'21:50
delinquentmei marked you working from the bottom up21:50
kanzuredelinquentme: what is JsonMethods22:00
delinquentmemodule w a json checker22:00
kanzureok.. why not put that in ./skraper_addons instead of each file22:01
delinquentmespecifially22:01
delinquentmewhat did i ask22:01
delinquentmefucking come some shit22:01

Mokbortolan_But, it reminded me of something22:37
diginetah22:37
Mokbortolan_it's a problem for perfumers22:38
Mokbortolan_perfumiers?22:38
Mokbortolan_anyway, there's a way of analyzing the "resonant frequency" of molecules, calculating molecules with similar frequencies, and then synthesizing them22:38
Mokbortolan_there's a guy who figured this out and does just this for perfumers to replace expensive ingredients22:39
Mokbortolan_or dangerous/banned ingredients22:39
diginetwat22:41
yashgarothdid you have a particular molecule in mind diginet?22:41
Mokbortolan_it somewhat controversial22:42
Mokbortolan_'s22:42
Mokbortolan_"the vibration theory of olfaction"22:42
diginetyashgaroth, I was just pondering the possibility of mimicking the structure (and thus function) of proteins with things that can be synthesized in vitro22:43
Mokbortolan_oh, that probably wouldn't apply22:43

diginetis there much on the direct chemical synthesis of proteins?23:20
yashgarothsure, but it gets obscenely hard the longer the protein is23:21
diginethow come? I know you probably have to protect the other end of the polypeptide chain somehow, but other than that what causes the problem?23:23
diginetthe amino acids bonding chains beside the desired one?23:23
diginetcoudl you do it via microfluidics?23:23
yashgarothsame problems as dna synthesis, but the disadvantages act much worse23:24
yashgarothif one in 100 dna strands is right, you can still find it and you're set23:24
yashgarothif one in 100 protein strands is right, it's useless23:24
diginetoh, yeah23:25
kanzurealso the protein can start to fold23:25
kanzurebut yes you can do in vitro protein foldig in microfluidics23:25
yashgaroththat too, which would be less of an issue except they get synthesized in the opposite direction they are by a ribosome23:25
kanzure*folding23:25
diginetwhat if the invidiual amino acids were propelled down tube which held the growing chain but was too thin to allow it to fold?23:26
diginet*down a tube23:26
kanzurewhy would you want that?23:27
diginetso that it folds all at once23:28
diginet(you mentioned premature folding as a problem)23:29
diginetdraw the chain out and then let it fold23:29
yashgarothwhat's wrong with in vitro translation23:30
kanzure"folding all at once" isn't how it normally happens anyway23:31
kanzurea ribosome poops it out23:31
diginetisn't in vitro painfully slow?23:32
yashgarothhahaha versus peptide synthesis?23:32
kanzureyou could always just use a cell/host23:32
diginetI'm just reading out of curiosity23:32
yashgarothin vitro is lightning fast compared to chemical23:32
diginetI'm not planning not to use a host23:32
diginetwhy are they slow compared to in vivo synthesis?23:33
yashgarothwaiting for the chemical reaction to proceed, various washing and deprotecting steps23:33
diginetwhat if the process was automated?23:34
kanzurehe is talking about automated :)23:34
yashgarothit usually is, yeah23:35
yashgarothholy shit 20 minutes per residue? that's even worse than I thought23:35
diginetwait, are you serious?23:35
kanzureyep..23:35
yashgarothversus, at worst, one per second on a ribosome23:35
kanzureone second is a pretty long time for a ribosome to wait23:35
diginetI thought translation was more like 10 amino acids per second23:36
yashgarothI mean at absolute worst, but yes usually it is23:36

diginetwhat makes the ribosome so much faster?23:37
kanzurebillions of years23:37
diginet:P23:37
kanzurethat's what the definition of enzymes is23:38
kanzurethey tend to increase the likelihood of a certain chemical reaction occurring23:38
diginetohhhh right of course23:39
kanzurein this case there's a network of highly specialized proteins with strong binding affinities for different regions of the ribosomal subunits23:39
diginetso what if you had little microfluidic chambers with a ribosome "glued" to the wall, a pool of tRNAs, and then you sent an mRNA to each chamber23:40
kanzureyou would probably lower the reaction efficiency because normally both are free-moving23:41
yashgarothribosomes only add the correct tRNA23:41
kanzureand you don't want it glued to a wall.. you want to streptavidinylate or biotinylate it to a bead23:41
kanzurediginet: http://groups.google.com/group/enzymaticsynthesis/browse_thread/thread/7959df81b3429eda23:43
kanzurein particular look near the part where EE-Tu is brought up23:43
kanzureaww yeah diagrams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Translation.gif23:44
yashgarothunnnngh it even has transmembrane detection23:45
kanzurediginet: but yes it's not inconceivable to physically isolate ribosomes and play around with them23:47
kanzureit just won't be as productive as you're hoping, at least not at first..23:47
kanzureif dna synthesis won a nobel prize in the 1980s, what does whole genome synthesis merit?23:52
kanzureor, rather, the nobel prize was for peptide synthesis23:52
