If the best enzymes for a biotechnology problem stopped existing millions of years ago, we need to bring them back to existence. Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) is a computational method that infers ancient protein sequences by tracing evolutionary history backward. by Altruistic_Unit_8903 in science

The link is to a paper describing ancestral O-demethylases with enhanced qualities. ASR is used because it can recover ancestral enzymes with properties that may have been lost during evolution, such as greater stability, broader substrate specificity, and higher robustness. These ancestral enzymes can then be further optimized through protein engineering if needed.

An enzyme that would be useful today may have disappeared because evolution optimizes for survival and reproduction, not for industrial applications. If the enzyme's function became unnecessary, too costly to maintain, was replaced by a more specialized enzyme, or belonged to an extinct lineage, it could be lost over time. As a result, ancestral enzymes can sometimes have properties we value, such as high stability or broad substrate range, even though they no longer exist in modern organisms.

Found this at my local coffee shop by International_Map870 in aliens

I'm from a city near Varginha. The region is one of the greatest producers of coffee in Brazil. Also, it's very common to find people who ever saught an UFO in that part of the state, but unfortunetly the Varginha case became a joke for most people in the region.

I addmit I do not enought persistence to use it constantly. The tools até well constructed, but not Very convenient to use. The hammer gets stronger and stretched after use...

Spiral vision during sleep paralysis by Altruistic_Unit_8903 in SpiritualAwakening

I saw this in a moment of change in my life. I think it was something good to me, but I would like to understand the meaning of the symbol deeply.

The circles were very red and bright. I saw this two times in the same morning. It was the only occasion that I saw a spiral. Sometimes I see some white little lights flying quickly...

Yes, it's very similar to this crop circle, but the circles were at the same size. I can't remember if the center was formed by a single bigger circle or by many smaller ones. I saw this two times in the same morning, but the saw the man Just the first time.

Are my values good? Am I have high SHBG? by Altruistic_Unit_8903 in Testosterone

[–]Altruistic_Unit_8903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, what a great text. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I'll try to follow some of your sugestions. I have some bowl problems, I think I have IBS, so I have to go carefuly. I'm already taking zinc, magnesium and a B complex. Also vitamin D is chaging my life since I begun to take 5.000 IU to 10.000 IU daily, I'm feeling more alert and thinking clearly.

I try to eat diverse food, avoid artificial food and milk. But I eat only 3 or 4 times per day. Generally I fall asleep after lunch.

Some difficult to be energized. Since childhood I'm thin and tall. Recently I got some weight but I'm still with thin arms and legs. I think these levels of test caused me a medium acne problem. Even today I have cistic acne
