The story of a promiscuous enzyme (ProA) that wants to evolve its cell (E. coli) a new function. Only after generations of tinkering does ProA realize it can’t do it on its own; it needs a little help from its friends (ArgB/CarB). Now playing everywhere. elifesciences.org/articles/5…
Mutations that improve efficiency of a weak-link enzyme are rare compared to adaptive mutations...

Mutations that improve efficiency of a weak-link enzyme are rare compared to adaptive mutations...

Mutations elsewhere in the genome play critical roles in improving fitness during amplification and divergence of a gene encoding a weak-link enzyme whose inefficiency limits growth rate.

This is the most exciting update yet. We’ve been writing polarizing things (and eliciting ideas from friends and family) for months. Special thanks to everyone who contributed! @Ben13Porter @andymorgen @louisjnelson @christiesails @ashandtwitties @nstamell @maggie_stamell

"I'm willing to defer to the changing consensus produced by the scientific method and the truth production regime of education, peer review, etc., in lieu of the alternatives" -- is my bumper sticker.

Ok we're like 150 days into this pandemic in Contagion and somehow Matt Damon has an impeccable haircut so I'm now realizing this must not be a true story

Might just send this video clip out as our save-the-date @amanderoffact

I mean I know it's tough right now, but can you imagine being in a pandemic without emojis and just having to use emoticons like in 2011??

Well I gotta give the production staff of Contagion credit, they certainly did their research on how cell biologists design their slides:

@schwartzstories what font is that bc every cell biologist on the planet uses it
Head of the CDC in Contagion: "I'd rather the new story be that we overreacted than that many ppl lost their lives because we didn't do enough." So what I'm gathering is that Trump did not watch Contagion as research on how to handle a pandemic...

So much to break down with this scene (Note that this occurs a mere 8 days after first infection). They got a crystal structure of the critical viral entry protein complexed with the mammalian host cell membrane-bound protein IN JUST 8 DAYS?!?!?

Ok need to call @AlisonAbridged in for this naive virus question: can viruses actually incorporate DNA from the host as indicated in this clip?
