Chapter 445 Situation

The female scholar named Jessica was a little angry: "This is so unfair to Voigt. It's not the same protein at all, it's an enzyme with a similar structure and the same function! They are not even homologous genes." Expression! If you study carefully, you can find the difference in sequence..."

Zhu Xinyu froze slightly.

She knew the name "Voigt."

Not just knowing, it seems that at the last moment before being caught...

"There are indeed quite a few enzymes with similar structures and the same functions..." Xiang Shan sighed: "But the enzyme in that Ms. Appeared in two papers. You know what that means, don't you?"

Amino acid is a general term for a class of substances.As long as there is an amino group and a hydroxyl group connected to a carbon atom, and there are no invalid bonds, then this substance can be said to be an amino acid.

There are hundreds of naturally occurring amino acids alone.As for the synthetic ones, I don't know how many there are.

However, there are only 21 kinds of α-amino acids in the amino acids that make up the human body.

But among bacteria, there are really many types of amino acids.

There are many amino acids unknown to humans in eubacteria.

Not to mention archaea.

This is also normal.

It should come as no surprise that a never-before-seen amino acid was found in a poorly studied species of the Archaea.

It's not a subversive job.

And "alien creatures have amino acids" is not a particularly strange thing.

Because carbon is a very stable substance with a very high element abundance.The same goes for nitrogen and oxygen.Not to mention hydrogen, it is almost the substance with the highest element abundance in the universe.

Therefore, amino groups composed of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen, and hydroxyl groups composed of hydrogen and oxygen are very common.

And the conditions for kneading these things together are more common in the universe.

In 1953, United States chemists Harold Urie and Stanley Miller performed the famous Miller-Urie experiment.They built a controlled, sealed system that simulated the conditions in Earth's early atmosphere.Two chemists introduced hydrogen, methane and ammonia into the experimental setup, and then released an electric spark.

In this experiment, they obtained a large number of organic compounds.Among them, 2% are amino acids.

Although more and more biologists believe that the energy that ignites the initial power for "life" is not a spark, but a submarine volcano, the Miller-Ulie experiment can also show that the conditions for the origin of life may not be as complicated as human imagination .

The nature of the carbon atom is definite.

It is also possible that extraterrestrials and earth have appeared very close amino acids.This may depend on conditions such as the spectrum of the star where the alien creature originated, the magnetic field of the planet, and the like.

Of course, the probability can be said to be quite small.

However, now, in human society, there are only two items that mention an identical amino acid.

This amino acid is also folded into two proteins with very similar structures and functions.

The people in charge of these two projects still have a relationship of constant cutting and chaos.

"My God... It's not like you don't know the workflow of 'Aurumira'!" Jessica cried, covering her forehead.

"However, even if it is us, at least half of the scholars said that 'it cannot be completely ruled out that they come from the same material'-because everyone knows the workflow of 'Aulun Mira'." Xiang Shan shrugged.

"That's a kind of...scholar's rhetoric! Scientific rigor. At this time..." Jessica almost shouted: "At this time, everyone should have a clear stand...a clear stand..."

"And the very troublesome thing is that there are many people who don't like Mr. Yawgmoth. They come from the United States. Some government departments in the United States have always regarded him as a thorn. Guys cooperate. You get it, don't you?"

"That's their idiots! As long as you've worked with Voigt..." Jessica's voice trailed off.

"You will find out that he is a violent bastard? Cynical, quite stinging?" Xiang Shan laughed.

"Well, I admit that sometimes Voigt can't be a human being." Jessica looked at Xiang Shan, "but there is no doubt that he is an excellent scientist. This project needs him."

"I believe in this judgment." Xiang Shan nodded, "And I also hate unjust cases. Whether it's based on personal beliefs, work needs, or friendship, I don't want the worst to happen. But right now, we can't come up with a strong negotiation Material."

Jessica added: "For now."

"Currently." Xiang Shan said, "but the problem lies in the 'current'. We may not have much time left. At this time..."

Shrugged to the mountain.

Jessica patted herself on the forehead, saying that she needed to go back to work.

"Okay, don't be too tired. Get a good night's sleep after exercising, and think about the rest tomorrow." Xiang Shan said, "At this time, I am really looking forward to Yawgmoth's ex-wife suddenly jumping out to launch a press conference. Rather, if she doesn't hold a press conference, she might be controlled by someone with the excuse of 'leaking secrets'."

The cause of the matter came from Zhu Xinyu leaking Yawgmoth's unpublished research content.This is a very serious time, because it may reveal the fact that "aliens are actually in Southeast Asia", and then cause uncontrollable social impact.

At this time, the official response is actually "uncontrollable" or "unpredictable".

The more that Ms. Niaguti kept her mouth shut, the more uneasy the members of the Security Council felt.

And if she exposes this thing as "plagiarism", it will be easier to operate.

Perhaps that material will enter the eyes of more scholars, but she herself has become a person who "did not judge that this material came from an alien".At that time, Xiang Shan and the others were able to get a chance to talk.With dialogue, there is room for mediation.

If Nia Guti and Yawgmoth are willing to jointly release some "clarifying news" to "reverse" and eliminate social influence, then everyone will be happy.

But the only thing that worried Xiang Shan was that Yawgmoth was targeted by the FBI for a reason.His past resume is indeed quite unrestrained.If his ex-wife is also an extremist who wants to reveal the secret if there is a disagreement, then it will be over.

Another female scientist proposed to send Zhu Xinyu to the dormitory.Zhu Xinyu said that he still wants to stay here for a while.The female scholar also had something to do, so she left early.

Xiang Shan thought he was a little embarrassed, and wondered if he should find someone else to hand over the electronic bracelet.

Zhu Xinyu was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this my... is it my fault?"

　My head hurts all day...
