31. Protein folding (third change)

Having obtained the Super Soldier Serum Formula and Infinite Formula from the Secret Archives of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, Rosho and Fitz are more motivated in their quest for knowledge.

These two confidential documents are like a treasure trove full of gold and silver treasures, and knowledge is the key to unlocking the treasure trove.

At the end of each day's lessons, Rosho and Fitz set out to decipher the two classified files, but the types of the two files are different, and the way of deciphering them is naturally different.

Fitz's infinite formula is more theoretical, involving more mathematical expertise, while Super Soldier Serum requires sufficient biological knowledge to support it, and Luo Xiu must have enough understanding of human cells and genes.

So the two went their separate ways, Fitz returned to the dormitory after class to chew on math formulas, and Luo Xiu went to the library to check relevant materials.

Most of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s professional works on life sciences are stored in the School of Life Sciences, so Luo Xiu walked two kilometers a day through a quiet and dense maple forest, and then bypassed two tennis courts to read in the School of Life Sciences' library.

Although the student library card of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is common to the whole school, because Luo Xiu needs to consult too many materials, which has far exceeded the upper limit of the materials that ordinary students can borrow, he can only read in the library.

He knew that the Super Soldier Serum was an extremely difficult project to overcome, otherwise there wouldn't be only one Steve Rogers in the world, so he didn't rush too much, but learned it step by step.

Start by comparing basic biology readings – Principles of Genetics, Foundations of Genetics, Behavioral Genetics, Histology and Embryology......

After that, gradually increase the difficulty.

Luo Xiu completed the side quests provided by the system to gain buffs and experience, and at the same time gained knowledge by reading textbooks, and in just a few weeks, he had already laid a solid foundation in biology.

Autumn comes very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the maple grove leading to the School of Life Sciences is dyed in the color of the sunset, and the autumn wind blows, and the ground is full of fallen leaves.

Luo Xiu still hasn't deciphered the secret of the super soldier's serum, and Fitz is still studying the esoteric and complex infinite formula, but both of them have gained greatly in their respective fields, at least they are no longer as clueless as before.

Luo Xiu walked into the hall of the library, borrowed the basic related works, and then found a place by the window to sit down, and while there was no one next to him, he called up the system in his mind.

With Luo Xiu's current knowledge reserves, although it is still difficult to attack the super soldier serum, it is more than enough to sweep most of the students in the Life Sciences College of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.

Luo Xiu withdrew from the system in his mind, quietly opened his laptop, and then opened the materials he had just borrowed, and began to study the current topic.

He's trying to mimic the process of protein folding.

Protein is quickly folded into a three-dimensional structure by its primary structure amino acid sequence according to the hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, positive and negative electron-carrying of amino acid residues, etc., through the interaction between residues, which is the folding of protein.

Nowadays, human beings can determine the type and order of amino acids through genes, that is, the "genetic code", but they have never been able to decipher the "second set of genetic code", that is, the type and order of known amino acids, and the process of forming proteins through the rapid folding of amino acids.

Once the process of protein folding is successfully simulated, then human beings will completely decipher the genetic code, and complete this pioneering feat can not only overcome a series of complex diseases, but even complete the enhancement and modification of the human body.

The research and development of the Super Soldier Serum is most likely the result of deciphering the "second set of genetic code".

After half a month of research and calculations by Luo Xiu, he found that protein folding was indeed the most important thing in deciphering the super soldier serum formula.

It's just that the process of protein folding is very fast, they can complete the program's quite complex folding in a millionth of a second, and the amount of computation is very large, so it is extremely difficult to simulate, and it is obviously not easy to overcome this problem.

Therefore, looking at the information in his hand, Luo Xiu also had a headache.

Even though he raised the sub-disciplines of mathematics to level 3 and the subject average of life sciences to level 2 or above, it was still difficult for him to easily simulate the process of protein folding.

And just when Luo Xiu was distressed, a sound of footsteps came from beside him.

Following the prestige, he saw a young girl wearing a life science college uniform passing by him with a stack of books, and when he passed, his eyes inadvertently fell on Luo Xiu's computer.

She is a very sweet-looking girl, with big and bright eyes, often combed a ponytail, and is very charming when she laughs.

She's from London, and her authentic accent betrays her.

And while she was looking at Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu also glanced at her lightly.

Luo Xiu knows her, and in the world of the Marvel Universe, this girl occupies a very important place.

S.H.I.E.L.D. College, Life Sciences College – Jenma Simmons.

The one who will form a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientific duo with Leo Fitz and eventually become husband and wife.

He is also the most knowledgeable person in the science and technology department of S.H.I.E.L.D. in biochemistry.

Luo Xiu recognized her from the first time he saw her.

"It's a pity, if you can pull her into the gang to study the super soldier serum together, then the efficiency will definitely be improved a lot." Luo Xiu had a calculation in his heart.

But he didn't want to rush into the life of Jenma Simmons, and accosting a girl in the library would be mistaken for an ulterior motive.

"Alas...... Before fate arrives, it's better to rely on yourself. ”

Luo Xiu sighed silently in his heart, and then studied again.

——————

Simmons who passed by Luo Xiu was shocked, this was the 12th time she had passed by Luo Xiu this month.

The first two passes were unintentional, but the next 10 passes were all deliberate.

When he passed by for the first time, Luo Xiu was holding a copy of "Principles of Genetics" in his hand, which was a very basic biology textbook, and there was nothing unusual about it.

In fact, reading such an entry-level textbook in the Life Sciences College of S.H.I.E.L.D., Simmons also secretly laughed at Luo Xiu.

But who knew that when the next day passed, the book in Luo Xiu's hand was replaced by a new edition of "Gene X", and he had already begun to march into molecular biology and molecular genetics......

This made Simmons curious - either he was just looking for information when he read that elementary textbook yesterday, or he was flipping through it, or he was just pretending to be a monster when he read this book today.

Because of curiosity, Simmons always deliberately passed by Luo Xiu in the next few days, Simmons passed by the window when Luo Xiu sat by the window, Simmons walked against the wall when Luo Xiu sat against the wall, in short, for the next 10 days, Luo Xiu came to the library every day, and Simmons walked past Luo Xiu every day.

And Simmons is more and more shocked day by day because she finds that Rosho is learning too fast.

At first, it was still ordinary morphology and genetics, and occasionally molecular biology was involved, but after just a few days, Luo Xiu had already set foot in the most high-end research content in the field of biology today.

Until yesterday, Simmons found out that Rosho had actually started to study protein folding!

All parties have brainstormed and tackled problems that have not been won for so many years, and a kid who has been studying life sciences for just half a month dares to get started!

Seeing the content on Rosho's computer trying to simulate protein folding, Simmons chuckled in his heart: "My God! It's ridiculous, this kid can't be a master of sacred life science, right? ”
