Chapter 13: The Desperate Virus Dilemma
"If telomeres are the clock for cell death, then telomerase is the hand that sets the clock back."
The desperate virus represents immortality, no matter what heavy damage it suffers, it can be restored as before, and it also represents immortality, and the cell lifespan can reach dozens or even hundreds of times the original, and the corresponding human lifespan can also reach dozens or hundreds of times.
It is a huge project that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, comparable to the Apollo program, and requires the cooperation of various fields such as biochemistry, condensed matter physics, computers, polymer structures, mechanical engineering, etc.
Maya Hansen's Institute of Biology alone has a research team of more than 200 people, 80% of whom have a Ph.D. degree or above, a team composed of top talents.
Just like one of the by-products of the Desperate Virus Project, ECM gel repair technology, in order to find the regulators of extracellular matrix-specific expression, it took 30 Steyr trucks to transport the medium alone.
The effect is also good, and it is estimated that the demand for ECM gel repair technology can reach 5 billion within ten years.
However, it is still far from Maya Hansen's goal, and the ECM gel is equivalent to the leftovers of the desperate virus project, according to Maya's conjecture, after being seriously injured, the virus project first quickly fills the wound, including the internal wound and the external wound, to control the loss of cells in the body, and then the cells in the injured area grow virally.
In other words, the virus project is only one step in a hundred steps so far.
Now the Desperate Virus Project has hit a bottleneck.
Becoming also telomerase, losing also telomerase.
Theoretically, the desperate virus can be repaired indefinitely, but in the process of repair, the cells will multiply indefinitely, and the boundary between them and cancer cells will be very blurred.
At this point, people like Garcia and others are already very satisfied, and they have expressed the prospects of the desperate virus project and the current research dilemma.
Dr. Hall nodded, the simpler the preaching, the better, the simpler it means the deeper your understanding, as far as Anna said above, it has reached the undergraduate level of bioengineering, electrophoresis gel running, spectroscopic analysis, and gene shearing are all passed by, similar to a farmer's uncle planting rice, as long as you can distinguish rice and wheat, you can graduate with rice planting and fertilization.
Like Professor Connors of the State University of New York in the United States, he also held his chin and commented on Maya Hansen's thoughts with Norman Osborne from time to time, and he also thought that Anna's narration was remarkable, and then he watched Anna turn the page, and an exponential vector formula popped up on the screen: "This is already a polymer simulation technology, and it should be Maya Hansen's hope to simulate the process of yeast telomere recruitment of telomeres through polymers." ”
Connors only understood the general idea, but did not know the specific meaning.
"It now calculates a four-stage curl structure, which is beyond the scope of undergraduates, using computer simulation techniques, statistical physics foundations, mean field theory, and practical applications in several disciplines."
Anna was also confused, mainly because when she looked at the PPT before, she didn't look carefully, and she didn't find that what Maya put on it was the first draft: "This one seems to be the enthalpy of freedom, and the other is entropy." ”
Anna's head was spinning rapidly, and the books she had read in the past quickly flipped through her mind, and according to the functional variational theory, all problems can be boiled down to finding the minimum function under the constraint condition, what is the restricted structure, and what is the appearance of the minimum function.
Limitations, appearances - the Maya studied molecular structures, that limitations.
Anna can feel the excitement of neuronal cell endings, hundreds of millions of presynaptic membranes are depolarized, electronically gated calcium ion channels are opened, proteins are bound, and then the fusion of synaptic vesicles and anterior membranes suddenly splits, and the mind is like fireworks, and neurotransmitters are released quantumally.
A spark of thought emerges.
Anna finally understood: "One structure is limited, and it is necessary to expose both the inhibitory structure and the activation structure, and the two double extremes are limited, and the mixing entropy is the largest, and the channel that represents the speed of cell repair penetrates the fastest." Under the above conditions, the four-order crimped structure of telomerase was obtained. ”
A formula illustrates the core idea of a desperate virus.
Garcia explained the formula to Dr. Hall in the audience: "Maya's new formula, published in the journal CELL, is used as a conceptual guide for computer simulation and biological research, and it is also the direction of future research. ”
Dr. Hall is engaged in physics, and when he encounters vectors, matrices, and tensors, he knows that they are computer calculations: "It's just that the equations are a bit difficult to solve, and if you use a computer to calculate them, this amount of calculation is astronomical." ”
The nonlinear problem, or the three-body coupling system, is now the only reliable method of brute force enumeration, according to estimates, using Lincoln Lab clusters, to solve reliable data in a thousand years.
However, after all, it pointed out the direction of the research.
Even Anna thinks Maya is a genius.
Unbeknownst to her, this formula is based on the basic formula given by Tony Stark, which Maya has exchanged for a one-night stand.
Tony Stark looked at the screen, he didn't have any impression at all, it was all in 1999, he remembered Maya Hansen because Maya was like a wild horse running wild in bed, and the contrast between her usual professor appearance was too great.
Black lace, transparent, no sponge – that's all Tony Stark remembers.
Other than that, he has forgotten whether it was in Barcelona or Sweden.
The female doll in front of him, the curvature of the upper and lower jaws, Tony Stark frowned and thought hard, feeling that the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a person, super familiar.
And then the IQ of the young girl, Tony Stark felt that Maya Hansen, a fool, would never give birth to a super genius.
"Hell, are you here to divide my property?" Tony Stark held his chin and calculated how many shares to give, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars: "The illegitimate daughter also wants to share my family property, dream." ”
Once this opening is opened, Tony Stark feels that the next day there will be ten more mothers holding their children outside the iron fence: "If it's a super genius, maybe it's acceptable." ”
On the stage, Anna finished the last topic, reorganized and drew a general curve, and the lecture was officially completed.
There was silence.
It wasn't until Dr. Hall applauded, then Professor Servig, then everyone in the audience, and even Professor Connors, who was one-handed, gestured for encouragement.
Anne Weaver, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., deliberately ran up to the stage and hugged Annabelle down.
Annabelle waved to the audience, and there was another thunderous applause from the audience, in which Dr. Hall and Anna gave a thumbs up.
In fact, Anna's speech in the first half of the speech can only be said to be decent, however, considering the identity of a 7-year-old girl, being decent is already the biggest violation of common sense, not to mention the explanation of the core formula, not to mention the explanation of the core formula, but it grasps the key point word by word, and fully understands the essence of the desperate virus.
The host joked, "Dean Weaver, you robbed me of my business." ”
I don't know who dislikes it, Anna muttered in her stomach.
"Don't forget to type your contact email on the screen, I'm sure many people will be happy to contact Anna, the little genius." The moderator said that he thinks that after today, many scientists will become interested in topics related to the abduction of young girls.
The moderator was happy to see it happen.
Anna typed down her private mailbox on her keyboard.
