  • So you know how you have dna? Well dna converts into amino acids and long chains of amino acids are called proteins. Proteins are the real workers in our body.

    But you might think, if you knew the dna sequence, you know it all, correct? Not really. You see, dna is only 1 dimensional data. A lot of the information about the functions of a protein comes from its structure.

    So really, if you have a correct dna converted into amino acid chain (a protein), it still needs to be in the correct shape or folding in order for it to function.

    Prions are incorrect foldings of amino acid which obviously do not work. But whats more is that, when these folded structures come in contact with other functioning proteins, they can turn them into incorrect folding as well.

    Since these proteins are still your own (ie they still came from your dna) the immune system doesn’t quite work on them like it would on a foreign substance like bacteria or virus.




  • But you know for the olympics, the government really needed the extra surveillance cameras after all wouldn’t you want everyone to be safe? And who hates the sports? I mean we all love them and its good for us and it’s good for the economy as well. And it will put our country on the world map, and there will be so many tourists, after all we love tourists and diversity, wouldn’t that be nice?

    And just imagine oh imagine if one of the terrorists got here pretending to be a tourist, and ruin everything. You wouldn’t want them to ruin all the fun? Would you?

    So you see the government really really needs to tighten the security by adding these surveillance cameras, and rest assured it will use all the latest technologies to help YOU be SAFE. /s
