AI Thread Summary
Improving photosynthesis energy capture efficiency is a key focus, with discussions highlighting the differences in mechanisms involved. A request for a diagram indicates a need for visual representation of these processes. The complexity of membrane proteins, such as pumps, is noted, emphasizing that simply relocating them or adding genes from one organism to another may not be straightforward. To significantly enhance the energy yield of plants, increasing the carbon dioxide capture capability of the Rubisco protein is suggested as a more effective approach. This aligns with broader goals in optimizing photosynthesis for better plant productivity.

improve photosynthesis energy capture efficiency

how are they different? can u get me a diagram? and these pumps are big membrane proteins, don't think it would be that easy to just move it here, even if u add the genes from one to the other. If u really want to increase energy yield of a plant, try to think of way to increase the carbon dioxide capturing power of the Rubisco protein. Thats more of what everyone wants.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
