Revolutionary QM212
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
|
|
A new process in bio-chemistry involves the manipulation of
|
|
molecules to defeat diseases, viruses, chemical warfare, and to reduce the
|
|
cost of bio-chemical engineering. This new process is refined in that the
|
|
researcher utilizes new computer technology to model the behavior of
|
|
certain molecules to insert a "slot" for discarding unwanted foreign
|
|
objects. These unwanted foreign objects are discarded by fixing the slot
|
|
to fit the objects. This slot can be customized, through manipulation and
|
|
modelling, to fit many different objects. Therefore, objects such as
|
|
viruses, poisonings, or bacteria, could be jetted out of ones body. This
|
|
aspect could one day benefit millions of people around the world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chemical Process:
|
|
Teams from universities successfully inserted instructions for
|
|
building an anti-fluorescein antibody in the DNA of bacteria. This
|
|
antibody binds with fluorescein molecules. Into this chunk of material,
|
|
they inserted instructions for buildin g a metal-ion binding sight. They
|
|
discovered where to put this slot by simulating the antibody on a large
|
|
computer. The resulting product revealed an anti-fluorescein antibody which
|
|
binds to metal ions. After physically inserting the genetic code in to E.
|
|
coli. bacteria, the researchers had a large batch of a new compound which
|
|
they named QM212. When copper was added to this new batch, it binded with
|
|
the metal-ion binding sight, decreasing the fluorescent emissions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Applications:
|
|
The human immune system already uses similar antibodies for similar
|
|
tasks. Natural antibodies conform to the shape of foreign bodies and bind
|
|
to the outer surface. They then release enzymes to break down the
|
|
substance. In the experiment, c opper acted as the foreign body while
|
|
QM212 was the antibody.
|
|
|
|
One application of this process could be used by the military. The
|
|
military, utilizing bio-chemical tools, could engineer an antibody which
|
|
binds with nerve gas and splits each molecule. This could be accomplished
|
|
by first of all searching t he Brookhaven database for a proper antibody.
|
|
Then, using large mainframe computers, one can manipulate models of the
|
|
antibody and create a binding sight for the nerve gas molecules. Then, the
|
|
soldier would inject himself with the antibodies when h e is nerve gased.
|
|
|
|
Another application of this process could be used by bioÄ chemists
|
|
in fighting the AIDS epidemic. If an antibody was engineered to conform to
|
|
the AIDS virus, it could break it in half and dispose of it.
|
|
|
|
Finally, using E. coli., synthetic antibodies replacing current
|
|
vaccines could be mass produced. Instead of growing cultures of a disease
|
|
then killing them for use in vaccines, one could produce one antibody which
|
|
conforms to the disease the n reproduce this with E. Coli.
|
|
|
|
Impacts:
|
|
The impact of these applications could benefit people around the
|
|
world. Soldiers would not die (and continue killing like blind mice)
|
|
because of the nerve gas serum.
|
|
|
|
The AIDS epidemic would halt as announcements of a new product
|
|
which would desist the AIDS virus fill the radio waves. AIDS is
|
|
increasing exponentially and this would halt its fatal expansion. Also,
|
|
biologists would no longer waste money in replicating vaccines. A
|
|
mini-computer would be used to replicate synthetic antibodies instead.
|
|
|
|
Creating molecules with the uncanningly precise seek-andÄ destroy
|
|
capabilities of natural antibodies is an exciting step in replicating
|
|
nature's fascinating immune system.
