Chapter 72: Enzymes

Now that the path has been marked, all that remains is the process of taking the passage road.

Although the collectors knew nothing about enzymes, it was possible to try it out, and tens of thousands of collectors participated in the experiment.

They do the same thing as when they integrate the gene chains in the cell into chromosomes, using a single cell as an experimental body, manipulating the unfolding of the gene chain in the cell, and then introducing enzymes from the outside into the cell to penetrate into the cell, and then observing the reaction.

Time is like worthless flowing water, it will soon be fleeting, and I don't know how many days and nights have passed, and they have finally come up with some eyebrows for enzyme research.

Step by step, the research information of enzymes will be summarized in perpetuity.

It is divided into six categories, namely oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, and synthases.

Oxidoreductases, simply put, are enzymes that promote the catalytic effect of redox reactions, and if this enzyme is subdivided, it can be divided into oxidase and reductase.

Transferases are enzymes that catalyze group exchange or transfer between compounds.

Hydrolase enzymes catalyze hydrolysis reactions, and protein water is relied upon to form amino acids.

Lyases catalyze the reaction of a compound in a non-hydrolyzed state and leave a double bond or its reverse reaction, which can dehydrate and condense amino acids to form proteins.

These can only be regarded as side dishes based on the results of many enzyme experiments, and what really excites Sustainability is the remaining two enzymes.

Isomerase enzymes catalyze compounds with the same chemical formula, the same chemical bond and different atomic arrangements, so that such compounds can be converted into each other.

Synthases, enzymes that catalyze the merger of two molecules into one molecule, DNA ligases belong to this category.

Collectors are following the path that Hogu once walked, experimenting with each other, understanding the role of various enzymes, and using them.

Research continues, but not on enzymes, which have ended, but on their own gene chains.

The codons of the gene chain are gradually conquered and deciphered.

Because of their experience in enzyme research, the collectors became very comfortable with this kind of work, and soon the work of deciphering the genetic code was over.

At this time, their knowledge has been expanded like never before, and their naivety is still as naïve as ever, but their worldview is very different from what it used to be.

The increasing understanding of genes has led collectors to see the possibility that before the arrival of the Great Ice Age, the lightning-fast titanium snails and the behemoth octahedron are no longer just looking up, but can become.

Self-confidence and pride have been inflated like never before, just like Renaissance Europe, and almost every individual no longer doubts whether his own race can inherit the authority of the supreme will.

When the work of deciphering the genes is over, Perpetual calls for his own family again, and the work of changing the genes begins.

Not only did the gatherers not feel afraid, but they were even excited, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they wondered how many of the gatherers in the previous research stage had imagined that one day they would be able to possess unspeakable power like the supreme will.

Gatherers, unconsciously, have learned to desire something other than life.

The first step is to select a parent body to serve as a container to carry the experimental cells.

Perpetual does not want to do this, because it means that in the event of an accident in the experiment, the life of the parent family will be in danger, and the experimental cells cannot be put outside the body for experiments, because the microorganisms in the ocean are ubiquitous and have no brains, which will kill the experimental cells in an instant.

Death, what a distant term, since the Frozen Age explained, none of the gatherers have died, they can control their bodies to a certain extent, the replacement of cells can be infinite, and the internal organs will not age, unlike humans, when they enter old age, the division of cells will slow down, and various bodily functions will deteriorate.

I thought that no one of my kindred would be willing to agree to be the mother of the experiment, but the fact is the complete opposite, and almost all the gatherers are scrambling to recommend themselves, which makes Perpetual a little unexpected.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Perpetual probably understood what was going on.

Three successive successful big data derivations have laid the foundation for the unparalleled self-confidence of the entire population of collectors, and their knowledge of genes has weakened their reverence for the Supreme Will, and more of a desire to become the existence of the Supreme Will.

Who can refuse to be 'God'?

Perpetually's repeated orders emphasize the dangers of being an experimental mother, but the collector who introduced him is still Luo Ze.

A random collector was selected, and the experiment began.

At the beginning, the difficulty arose, the gatherers could achieve a certain degree of control over their bodies, but not as absolute as Hogu.

They can unwind the genes in the cell and increase the rate of cell division, but they can't do things like stop the cell from breathing and actively close the cell membrane to commit suicide, which are not included in the normal mechanism of the cell.

It is not possible for the restriction enzyme released by the cell to destroy its own gene chain, because the restriction enzyme can identify its own gene chain through methylation, and it will only target the gene that destroys the alien.

The reason why Hogu was able to succeed at the beginning was because it had absolute control over the cell, allowing the gene chain to actively remove the identification mark of methylation, and only then did it successfully complete the modification of the gene.

Obviously, this is not included in the normal mechanism of the cell, and it is impossible for the collector to do it.

However, there is no trade-off, and that is foreign enzymes.

As the mother of the experiment, the collector swallowed a round ball of flesh, which is a ball of flesh that is permanently divided by cells, and the inside of the sphere is hollow, filled with the enzyme solution used in the experiment, and the whole is shaped like a balloon filled with water.

The extraction of enzymes is obtained by killing microorganisms, rather than the enzymes released by the harvester's own cells, so it can work on the harvester's own cells to make these enzyme solutions, but it takes a lot of effort to make them.

The meat bulb passes through the digestive cavity and enters the drainage cavity, at this time, the outer protein body has been almost corroded, the ball is broken, and the drainage cavity is filled with a large number of enzymes.

Enzymes pass through the respiration of experimental cells, cross the cell membrane, and enter the interior of the cell.

At this time, the gene chain inside the cell has already untied the spiral structure under the will of the mother, forming a single chain to welcome the arrival of enzymes.
