ribosomes are enormous multi-part protein machines that take RNA and turn it into proteins left is sort of what ours looks like, right is a bacterial version I guess they're making these nextpic.twitter.com/uE9ZMFNsyf
overall I dont know what the fuck is going on but the fact that this is not only possible but an accomplished feat is making me think that molecular biology is way more advanced than is commonly understood and things are gonna get Weird real real fast good luck out there
will try to answer questions, please keep in mind that I was never a great biology student and I haven't studied anything since the mid aughts
eigenrobot Retweeted NLRG Loves Recursive Guises
"why is this named so and so" biology is a field full of sickos. for example they named a gene that mutates and kills people "Sonic Hedgehog" as a joke and now doctors have to tell moms their kid is dying because of a sonic hedgehog mutationhttps://twitter.com/NLRG_/status/1420965217060655106?s=19 …

they would probably be like us but we couldnt eat them. and vice versa. I mean we could but maybe a bunch of the molecules would be the wrong chirality so we couldnt digest them with our enzymeshttps://twitter.com/edwardW2/status/1420966805955223555?s=19 …

That seems to have very concerning implications for a white blood cell consuming bacteria or a virus, right?
Eigen, this seems concerning enough to get more than a like
A comforting answer that "no, biology doesn't work like that and this can't be used to make invisible diseases" would be nice
I think it would be pretty difficult to make this work like really difficult to the extent that we couldnt chop them up seems like they would struggle to chop us up also the adaptive immune system has ways around this nonsense I /think/
and viral replication relies on hijacking our cellular machinery and in this case said machinery would be noncompatable
