Less evolvable RNA-mediated ecological adaptations

|

No experimental evidence of biophysically constrained RNA-mediated cell type differentiation supports the claim about “…the evolutionary plasticity of the regulatory regions involved in transcriptional regulation…” The overwhelming systems complexity of energy-dependent RNA-mediated cause and effect can no longer be placed into the context of the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by theorists. Watch Andrea Wagner’s group try … Less evolvable RNA-mediated ecological adaptations

Psychophysical Laws of Biology: RNA-mediated nutritional psychiatry (3)

Psychophysical Laws and the Superorganism  (open access) …superorganisms may also exhibit such behaviour, suggesting that these laws arise from fundamental mechanisms of information processing and decision-making. Reported on Jun 14, 2013 as Nutrient-dependent/pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution: a model and again on: Mar 27, 2018 as Honeybees may unlock the secrets of how the human brain works The … Psychophysical Laws of Biology: RNA-mediated nutritional psychiatry (3)

Codon identity regulates mRNA stability and translation efficiency during the maternal-to-zygotic transition The amino acid optimality code (Fig 6) provides an alternative perspective on sequence changes between paralogs in evolution and human disease. Neo-Darwinian theorists dispense with Darwin’s food energy-dependent  “conditions of life.” They link mutations and disease to evolution via mathematical models. They exemplify … RNA-mediated nutritional psychiatry (2)

Summary: Young Genes are Highly Disordered as Predicted by the Preadaptation Hypothesis of De Novo Gene Birth Stop this nonsense about de novo gene birth and you will help to stop the school shootings without more gun control. See my presentation at the 2017 Precision Medicine Virtual Conference (2/15/17) Energy as information and constrained endogenous … RNA-mediated nutritional psychiatry

Odor activation of ATP (2)

|

Metabolic Regulation of Cytoplasmic DNA Synthesis (1974) The curve that results when the rate of DNA synthesis is plotted as a function of ATP concentration is sigmoidal, suggesting that more than one site on the enzyme interacts with ATP and that these sites are acting cooperatively. Odor activation of ATP is the obvious link to … Odor activation of ATP (2)

Serious scientists start from the levels of biological organization required to link atoms to ecosystems in all living genera. They must link what is known about quantized energy to subatomic particles. See for example slide number 6 from: Human Pheromones: Linking Neuroendocrinology and Ethology (revisited)  (2010) Subatomic particles must be the link to the creation … Odor activation of ATP (1)
