Reverse translatase and protein amplification in particular.
How the fuck do you plan on selectively priming protein amplification. If you know ANY protein chemistry, you will know "the juice is not worth the squeeze" -- how would I exponentially amplify a protein? I'd do mass spec proteomics, synthesize the DNA, and express it.
Simply amazing that electrofixation is not on the list.
- dnautics 6d agoWhich ones are not stupid? Cryopreservation, even though I don't care much for it. The rubisco one is sort of not dumb, but if you actually care about carbon fixation you'd just not bother using rubisco at all instead. Programmable Proteases is fine. Somatic regeneration is fine.
- c1ccccc1 6d agoI was going to comment to complain about those two as well! Do you mean electrofixation of nitrogen? What level of biological involvement are you imagining? More like biology producing (some?) of the catalysts, or more like the entire reaction happening inside of cells?
- dnautics 5d agoElectrofixation of carbon. Build a bug with one of the alternate (non rubisco) pathways and pump electrons from the mains to turn CO2 into sugar
