kanzuresince ribosome is a ribozyme, we can copy-paste most of the catalytic domains from ribozyme rna polymerase and turn that into a giant polymerase.00:38
kanzureand synthetases have been fairly well engineered00:39

yoleaux"Francis William Aston FRS (1 September 1877 – 20 November 1945) was an English chemist and physicist who won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery, by means of his mass spectrograph, of isotopes, in a large number of non-radioactive elements, and for his enunciation of the whole number rule. He was a fellow of the Royal  …" — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_William_Aston00:39
kanzurethe same azobenzene amino acid can be reused in multiple places inside the same target protein, so optical illumination can cause multiple simultaneous changes00:41
nmz787_ikanzure: you think catalysis of aminos and/or handling them will be so similar?00:41
kanzureyou would have to replace the catalytic domains00:41

kanzuresynthetases. which are already well-studied well-engineered objects.00:44
nmz787_ikanzure: is your comment because the azobenzene amino needs a non-standard ribosome ?00:44
nmz787_ikanzure: synthetase is part of a ribosome?00:44
kanzuresynthetases bring amino acids to the ribosome00:45
kanzurebut they have been hacked to bring many other things00:45
nmz787_iah00:45
nmz787_ihmm, that phenylazophenylalanine doesn't seem to be available on first-page google results00:45
kanzureand they are much bigger than a single nucleotide, which is nice00:45
nmz787_ihmm, so the azobenzene is basically the amino side-chain00:48
kanzureyes the goal is to pick some residues to replace with that00:48
nmz787_iwell I guess I'd been incorrectly thinking it might have been mid-link00:49
nmz787_ibut that isn't how peptide chains are formed00:49
nmz787_imid-link meaning the chain would twist itself...with the sidechain it would need to twist and push on some other part of the molecule (peptide)00:50
nmz787_iis there a python API to gromacs :)00:50
kanzurenanoengineer had one00:51
nmz787_ihmm, seems to be something00:51
kanzureif not, it's trivial to write some bindings00:51
nmz787_iif you swapped an amino in a PDB... making it 'too close' for room-temperature conditions... and put that into gromacs... might it reconfigure into a 'comfortable' energetic/molecular state?00:54

kanzureanselm complaining about dna storage ideas https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=899991909:21
kanzure"If we get a little scifi, and assume we build programmable polymerases and get nanopore (direct read) sequencing. Even then, physics limits you to something like 1000 read/writes per sec per pore/polymerase. Instrumenting to these will probably limit per-feature size to being larger than 100micron on a fabricated chip, giving us an ultimate read/write limit around: (2cm/100um)^2 x 1000 bit/sec = 40Mbit/sec for a giant 2cmx2cm chip. With ...09:22
kanzure... the necessary error-correction and redundancy, it's probably going to cap out around 1Mbit/sec at best. Those 700TB take about 2months to read/write at these rates, and we'll have much-better solid state storage technologies by the time we figure out how to all that with DNA."09:22

kanzureCaptHindsight: hm?11:36
CaptHindsightI keep telling you but you you made some comment about "hand waving" which I assumed to be projection11:37
kanzureCaptHindsight: there's no good option yet for dna ligation on an inkjet bed, i proposed one method using reservoire flow (which it turns out that twist biosciences is also using at the moment), and EWOD, and micropipetting (which does not scale well for large amounts of DNA)11:37
kanzureand EWOD might require oil-water emulsion techniques11:37
CaptHindsightwho cares if  twist biosciences is using it?11:38
CaptHindsightit's not likely for the FDA to approve anything open source11:39
kanzurevalidation is super important11:39
CaptHindsightfrom whom?11:39
kanzureif someone tried for years and spent zillions, and it didn't work, then you should avoid it. if they have validated the method, then that's a good signal.11:39

kanzurere: restriction of protein engineering to only those spiral shapes or whatever.   i think that needs to be double checked. i think some of the protein folding is solved for. so we should find some good chases in existing proteins. then paste catalytic protein domains to that, run selection experiments and get improved proteins with known-simulatable backbones and folding.  and next most of biology should be replaced with only those ...15:00
kanzure... structures, since it's more convenient for us to work with.15:00

yoleaux"An intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) is a protein that lacks a fixed or ordered three-dimensional structure. IDPs cover a spectrum of states from fully unstructured to partially structured and include random coils, (pre-)molten globules, and large multi-domain proteins connected by flexible linkers." — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsically_unstructured_proteins16:12

kanzureandyphoneshi: not sure16:20
andyphoneshiHeh, the latter would be awesome, the former is pretty forboding16:21
kanzurei am a little skeptical about the "just find the most energy minimizing shape" goal... there doesn't seem to be any study showing this is a good assumption.16:21
andyphoneshi..this in general is a good physical assumption, you can derive tons of chemistry from it16:21
kanzurefold.it has a heuristic scoring function for energy minimization, so it appears to me that they should just try to randomly generate answers and then score them. what's the big deal? it's not even running molecular dynamics.16:22
andyphoneshimm ok that'll miss local minima ofc16:22
kanzureit's "find the closest local minima and fall down the energy slope"?16:22
andyphoneshiI would expect that16:23
andyphoneshibased on the parts of science I have any familiarity with (not biochem :p)16:23

kanzure"Uses a large database of 3-residue and 9-residue fragments, taken from structures in the PDB"16:26
kanzure(rosetta)16:26
maakuwhat local analysis misses is that as the protien folds in on itself, the energy minima change16:27
kanzureouch.. so basically they are doing find-and-replace for chunks of residues at a time, then updating their free energy minimizing calculations for the rest of the residues in the protein to determine if that (found) shape wokrs.16:27
maakuwith naturally occuring genes at least there's a lot of non-intuitive folds because of this effect16:27
maakueasy to engineer around that with designed proteins though16:27
kanzureyeah i am still interested in finding a subset of proteins and amino acid residues that we can say are simpler to simulate and fold16:28
kanzureif the spiral or helical proteins are easier, then fine, let's slap on some catalytic domains and then optimize them through some rounds of selection, and replace all of biology with those proteins instead of whatever nasty folds we're currently using16:28
maakukanzure: I suspect the key point will be designing DNA origami like interconnects between active sites16:29
maakuright ok what you just said :)16:29
kanzureit is not clear to me if there's a subset of amino acids that are easier to fold and calculate energy for..16:31
andyphoneshiPresumably the ones we have are in some strong sense the simplest .. since we hit them by chance first16:31
kanzurewell one guess would be something like "find amino acids that are mostly inert"16:32
kanzure"How do small single-domain proteins fold?" http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S135902789800033916:42
maakuandyphoneshi: or easier to create by natural process, which means more existing by default16:42
maakuprobably lots of astrobiology research relevant to this question16:43

CaptHindsightkanzure: I've been watching genetic engineering since the early 80's but just recently decided to get involved since it's taking so damn long.18:50
CaptHindsightso far I don't see any conspiracy other than publicized connections between presidents, congress and drug co's, I mostly see idiots with accountants that manage to show millions spent on R&D that could cost a few % of what they say they spend18:52
kanzureno no, i mean protein design not genetic engineering18:52
kanzureprotein design is commonly said to be hard due to protein folding-- but often that's handwaving because discussion of the actual problems don't occur afterwards.18:53
kanzureusing a constrained set of amino acids and other techniques, like highly repetitive sequences of amino acids, you can predict with high accuracy the shape of the resulting protein18:53
kanzurewhile that's still "hard to simulate" at an atomistic level, you don't have to simulate it at all because you already know the result ahead of simulation time18:55
