From RNA to Protein Synthesis

Amazing how the system works. Has always reminded me of computer techniques. But then it is information. A bit like a computer running a logic controller to manufacture and product.

We demonstrate that, at constant temperature, hundreds of DNA strands can cooperatively fold a long template DNA strand within minutes into complex nanoscale objects. Folding occurred out of equilibrium along nucleation-driven pathways at temperatures that could be influenced by the choice of sequences, strand lengths, and chain topology. Unfolding occurred in apparent equilibrium at higher temperatures than those for folding. Folding at optimized constant temperatures enabled the rapid production of three-dimensional DNA objects with yields that approached 100%. The results point to similarities with protein folding in spite of chemical and structural differences. The possibility for rapid and high-yield assembly will enable DNA nanotechnology for practical applications.

I hope they do not forget about the greygoo. A certain type of mistake could be real bad news.

I would suggested that a different planet be used as a base for a lab. Maybe that is what happened to mars.

Is this Sci Fi or from Bnonumous?

Bnonymous still has it in conference determining if it is a worth while project. No one like to get goo on their shoes.

The First Church of the Grey Goo Welcomes You

Welcome, lowly pilgrim. You stand before the doors of the first
church of the Grey Goo. Abandon hope! Seek your salvation in
the Grey Goo.

Beliefs of the Church

Intro: The Train

- The Worlde rides upon the Train into the future.
- Ye Scientists draw the Map and cleareth the territory.
- Ye Technologistes layeth the tracks.
- The train roars downeth the tracks, without care for
its speed, for the Engine of the train is Money.
- The Drivers of the train are asleep.

The Prophecy

- Ahead, in the valley of our future, lies the Grey Goo.
- The Grey Goo consumes all without prejudice.
- Ye Scientists perceive the Grey Goo, but they care for it not.
They only map the territory.
- Ye Technologists perceive the Grey Goo, but the train is coming
and they must lay the tracks. The valley is the fastest route to
the future.
- The Engine has no eyes.
- The Drivers are asleep.

Thus, the Train, with all of us aboard, shall meet the Grey Goo
and be consumed, to become one with the Grey Goo.

The Church Welcomes you, meek rider upon the Train, who have seen
the glory of the Grey Goo and would enter into it with open eyes.
