I'd like to leave you with the following thought: Green fluorescent protein and antibodies are both totally natural products at the get-go.
They were evolved by nature in order to get a jellyfish to glow green for whatever reason, or in order to detect the coat protein of an invading virus, for example.
Protein folding, a topic that shares the incredible expansiveness of chess — there are more ways of folding a protein than there are atoms in the universe.
Non-technical, non-biologist amateurs play a video game in which they visually rearrange the structure of the protein, allowing the computer to manage the atomic forces and interactions and identify structural issues.
So through natural selection, over time, mutations, variations that disrupt the function of a protein will not be tolerated over time.
It was the cheapest source of protein in America.
Only about one in every four million kids has this disease, and in a simple way, what happens is, because of a mutation in a particular gene, a protein is made that's toxic to the cell and it causes these individuals to age at about seven times the normal rate.
A progeria cell, on the other hand, because of this toxic protein called progerin, has these lumps and bumps in it.
And when I throw this up into the air and catch it, it has the full three-dimensional structure of the protein, all of the intricacies.
And this gives us a tangible model of the three-dimensional protein and how it folds and all of the intricacies of the geometry.
They were looking at this amazing protein design.
And that's because when we're looking for pancreatic cancer, we're looking at your bloodstream, which is already abundant in all these tons and tons of protein, and you're looking for this miniscule difference in this tiny amount of protein.
Just this one protein.
Essentially, first, the protein would have to be found in all pancreatic cancers, at high levels in the bloodstream, in the earliest stages, but also only in cancer.
And so I'm just plugging and chugging through this gargantuan task, and finally, on the 4,000th try, when I'm close to losing my sanity, I find the protein.
And the name of the protein I'd located was called mesothelin, and it's just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill type protein, unless, of course, you have pancreatic, ovarian or lung cancer, in which case it's found at these very high levels in your bloodstream.
So now that I'd found a reliable protein I could detect, I then shifted my focus to actually detecting that protein, and thus, pancreatic cancer.
And these are pretty cool because they only react with one specific protein, but they're not nearly as interesting as carbon nanotubes.
Essentially, I could weave a bunch of these antibodies into a network of carbon nanotubes, such that you have a network that only reacts with one protein, but also, due to the properties of these nanotubes, it will change its electrical properties, based on the amount of protein present.
Bees get all of the protein they need in their diet from pollen and all of the carbohydrates they need from nectar.
Fifty years ago, beekeepers would take a few colonies, hives of bees into the almond orchards, for pollination, and also because the pollen in an almond blossom is really high in protein.
One example of those is protein folding.
So here we have an interface where we have physical handles onto a protein, and we can grab those handles and try to move the protein and try to fold it in different ways.
What makes this gift so valuable is that it's packed with protein that the female will use to provision her eggs.
It turns out fish is the most cost-effective protein on the planet.
If you look at how much fish protein you get per dollar invested compared to all of the other animal proteins, obviously, fish is a good business decision.
It also doesn't need a lot of land, something that's in short supply, compared to other protein sources.
In fact, our CEO Andy Sharpless, who is the originator of this concept, actually, he likes to say fish is the perfect protein.
And these recipes vary from person to person to person in ways that cause the proteins to vary from person to person in their precise sequence and in how much each cell type makes of each protein.
And he found that the more C4 protein our genes make, the greater our risk for schizophrenia.
