Along with disastrous 3-point shooting in NBA basketball…lol. Three points are awarded for field goals in football, and no NBA team has ever been down 3 games in the playoffs yet win a 7-game series. DNA can exist in 3 hybridized states within a cell. There are 3 bases on a baseball field away fromContinue reading “SPECIAL TOPICS: Nature Seems to Love the Number 3”

THIRD EYE LOCALIZATION WITHIN THE HUMAN MIND: A Thought Experiment
The human body is composed of many DNA-containing cells immersed in a body that is ≅ 60% water. In accordance to cellular conditions, DNA may take on one of three tautomeric forms: ( 1 ) B-DNA ( 2 ) A-DNA ( 3 ) Z-DNA Interestingly, DNA tautomers do not differ in their molecular structure; instead,Continue reading “THIRD EYE LOCALIZATION WITHIN THE HUMAN MIND: A Thought Experiment”
DO LIVING THINGS EXIST IN A TAUTOMERIZED STATE???
What do DNA and RNA molecules, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and the side chains of other importance organic molecules have in common??? In solution, these molecules rapidly fluctuate between one structure to another similar one, then back. The relationship between tautomeric states, however, need not be 1 to 1. Organic molecules contain a great diversity ofContinue reading “DO LIVING THINGS EXIST IN A TAUTOMERIZED STATE???“
THE BASIC STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of DNA and RNA:
DNA vs. RNA STRUCTURE Deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ) and Ribonucleic acid ( RNA ) enable the cells of living organisms to manufacture proteins. Proteins can exist as singular or multi-strand molecular units with very complex functions; they can be used to form structural cell wall components, neurotransmitters, enzymes, and other structures necessary for anContinue reading “THE BASIC STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of DNA and RNA:”
