Today, a wonderful mutation methodology was presented to me in a conference, this was used to generate new proteins to act as enzymes for specific reactions.
They used microfluidics, which already by itself places them in the cool category.
Basically they made up this system in which they have bacterias producing an enzyme, through microfluidics they push a single cell inside a bubble with the reaction substrate and some lysing agent.
The enzyme comes out and the reaction proceeds producing a fluorescent compound, the fluorescence is measured to assess the catalytic performance and based on that, droplets are separated thanks to microfluidics magic.
The good ones go through another stage in which the dna is sequenced to determine what the protein is and random mutations are induced and inserted in other bacterias that are then sent a the beginning of the process.
The whole thing is automatic and they process 1000 proteins per second.
That's crazy, sounded like magic to me.
Cool stuff, I have to insert some microfluidics somewhere in my projects. Microfluidics is better than AI. I have to learn microfluidics now.
@realcaseyrollins he won't show any id.
@realcaseyrollins and he's an illegal alien.
@realcaseyrollins they haven't reached the bottom yet.
@aebrockwell charm is evil.
@cmclase I already like you....
#physics #earthquake **M6 coming for Turkey** This is what I was looking for. The geology has forced it up a bit. We need at least an M6 or 7 to close it up for another 300 years.
#physics #earthquake **New earthquakes extending down to the sea** There is too much stress at that lower end. It should do something.

@KarmaBurrito Good for old men, burns out the cancer.
@AmpBenzScientist The rosin fumes are deadly. I doubt that a mechanical filter works, perhaps charcoal. Better still, a vent to the outside, like a natgas stove.
