Hi eveyone! Since we're not going to have a meeting for a while, I thought it would be a good idea to post our ideas here. - Horia | Hi eveyone! Since we're not going to have a meeting for a while, I thought it would be a good idea to post our ideas here. - Horia | ||
| - | Alright, it's 1:39am...and I've come up with some random idea as I was studying for my bio exam. During the last meeting, we talked about pH and voltages to control protein regulation. Would it be possible to connect those two ideas (pH and voltages)? I am pretty sure the intracellular function changes as pH changes (like in plants, certain enzymes get activated as pH drops after hydrolysis done by certain hormones) and this might have some effects on the voltage gated channels on E.coli and allowing different influx/eflux of ions that would manipulate activation of protein synthesis. I haven't looked up on the web to see what exactly E.coli do in different situations yet..but, I wasn't really too keen about using wire to generate voltage on that little E.coli...the voltage idea itself is brilliant, and I thought this can be incorporated into pH with the use of voltage gated channel. - Jieun | + | Alright, it's 1:39am...and I've come up with some random idea as I was studying for my bio exam.
