  1. I'm confused. First of all what matters is the molar ratio of DNA to protein... So just use an equal molar concentration of DNA that you're using for your protein. Also usually when you order oligos they come as a lyophilized powder so you can disolve them yourself and select your concentration. The type of purification you get usually depends on the length of your oligo. As there is a small error associated with every step in the synthesis these accumulate thus longer oligos will have more erros. I don't do alot of nmr so I'm usure what the tolerance of the procedure is. However if you don't mind paying the extra bucks I say pay for PAGE purification. Or you could just do it yourself, that's what i do. (Also the girls next door who do x-ray cystollography do PAGE purification of DNA so it should be good for your purposes.) Typically if I start out with with a 50 - 100nmoles order (ie enough substrate to synthesis 100nm of oligios). I get ~50nmoles back after purification, redisolve that in 100uL and get a final concentration of 5mM. So you can see how getting 10mM isn't really a challange. This is still typically far to concentrated for my purposes and has to be diluted far more.
  2. Well not for me. I get a "this video you have requested is not available... blah blah blah" message.
  3. Anyways, now that I got that out of my system… Sorry about that maybe was a tad out of line... I'd say that we are all born with a varying degree of "predisposition for intelligence". (Sorry for lack of a better term); Also that our experiences/actions as we live develop this intelligence. I think most people would agree with this statement. However I think where the disagreement comes in is to the degree that genes and our upbringing affect this intelligence. Also whether there are different forms of genetic potential for intelligence. Say one person being musically brilliant with little effort but extremely inept at Math with massive effort. Personally I think that genetically the vast majority of people are on a fairly equal playing field. Some within that majority having a slightly easier time at excelling at certain things than others, but I’d say that being profoundly innately better at something than someone else is relatively rare. I think effort, frame of mind, and background knowledge will determine how well you build your intelligence in an area far more than genetic predisposition. Though I think that this predisposition definitely exists… I guess what I mean to say is the “nurture forces” that determine or intelligence in certain areas tend to vary to a far greater degree than any predisposition for intelligence that we get from our genes. Thus the nurture seems to be the limiting factor far more often than nature. Though I can imagine instances where this would reverse; say when the top people in a field are compared. (As both have likely worked their asses off to get there, and likely maxed out their potential)
  4. Well then of course you not doing any research and not knowing anything about the topic would make anyone who disagrees with you "dumb". Like anyone not "dumb" could figure that out. Oh yet another brilliant post. Everyone know that not having computer skills automatically qualifies someone as "dumb". Oh definatley! Alienating your friends and family is an absolutley brilliant way to live through life. Ha those "dumb" suckers!! Geeze why hadn't I thought of that. Guess I must be "dumb"
  5. faster?? It's pretty damn fast enough. Umm well you can make sure the flower is fresh, the cut on the bottom is fresh diagonal cut. I think you can add certain plant hormones to keep them fresh longer. Anti wilting ones. Alternatively you can alter genetic pathways in antrocyanin production and make them naturally that colour.
  6. Oooooooo lightning bolts. Must resist urg to buy boook. arrrrghhhhhhh I love how the first link on the page is the "buy now" link lol
  7. Oh oh... Looks like it's no long a body. But has become the body now... I sure hope not:-(
  8. I'm just guessing but likely there already have a hole there from previous piercings that is already healed. Think about it. If these people have already peirced themselves to such a degree that the pain no long bothers them they're probably so full of holes that they don't even need to open up new wounds. I'm not sure this would apply to surface piercings but it would to cheeks and tonges etc... Also if the hole is small enough it wont bleed much in the first place. Personally I don't bleed much from anything. It's a little wierd actually...
  9. Hmmmm no response or any comments from anyone else??
  10. Well no they don't. Remember ethers are the common solvent used in a grignards reaction.
  11. No I understand exactley what you mean. But isn't it usually the other way around? That zero's infront of a number are meaningless not the other way around.... Like 0001000 is really 1000 NOT 0001.
  12. Do you mean remove the 0's infront of the first 1?
  13. I think he's talking about people. And the answer is no. (as far as I'm aware of) Plus in response to the hydra. Alhough it can reproduce asexualy producing close of itself, as it has both sexual organs I think it can also produce sexually with itself. And no they wouldn't be an exact clone. Although the offspring would obviously only contain genes only from parent, due to genetic recombination the offspring would contain less genetic diversity than the parent.
  14. You're really starting to scare me.
  15. You sure you wrote it correctly? All the terms are of 8 except the second one which is only 6 characters.
  16. I agree with the above post on most thing. However I'm not going to say to stop you're hight proteins diet. If it works for you, then stick with it. I just want you to know that you can still eat fruit and have a high protein diet. What you really need to cut out from such a diet are things like white bread, rice, pasta, potatoes etc... Fruit is so low in calories that it wouldn't make much of a difference to any diet. Except that it would add tonnes of excellent nutrition.
  17. You should probably just start eating fruit again. Many fruit is so low in calories that eventhough it's all from carbs it wont add that much to your diet. Vitamin C might help. It gives a pretty instand effect to mood, though may not be so long lasting.
  18. I just want to point out that you're on the other side of the world from me..... So it was only 1am here.
  19. repost of my edit. It's a bit of a cop-out at the end but I really should goto sleep lol
  20. opppsss I miss placed that first bracket lol. so it's just 1245678901234567890.....09876543210987654321 Which comes from (1 + 10 + 100 + ... + 10^m)(1 + 10 + 100 + ...+ 10^m) =(1 + 10 + 100 + ...+ 10^m) + 10(1 + 10 + 100 + ...+ 100^m) + 100(1 + 10 + 100 + ...+ 10^m) + ... + 10^m(1 + 10 + 100 + ...+ 10^m) 111 + 1110 + 11100 = 12321 Any it gives a sumation like that above with the number of ones in the first term being equal to m and the number of terms being m. But it's getting late so I got to goto sleep now
  21. Actually I take that back it's already begun!! It's started taking the potatoes under my kitchen counter. At the rate it's doubling we'll likely loose the east coast in about a month.... On a more serious point I'm pretty sure before we can makes something like that from scratch we'll figure out that it'd have to be just about as complicated as a living cell and we'll already be manipulating those to do the same thing...
  22. The answer they're looking for is electric force. Or the electromagnetic repulsion between the electron shells.
  23. Why send more troops? Give him a gun and send Bush instead. If he's so big on this war why not let him fight it instead. I gaurentee you this solution will probably end about 50% of american problems.
  24. You can do a DNA extraction from some veggies. All with stuff from the local drugstore or supermarket.
