    I taught AP Biology for 15 years it's sad how much better your animations are than anything teachers get access to with a textbook. This is totally not a dig because I loved the video, but If I was still in the classroom I'd 100% use this video with my students to be able to go over the hand wavy parts and have them find the couple of inaccurate/incomplete sections of the process. Science Linus gets at least a B+.

      Exakly my thoughts with a bachelor in Biology (bachelor-thesis in genetic) . Beautiful animations that are 100x better than every old textbook but some parts are either missing or slightly wrong. But nevertheless accurate enough to be understandable and having an educational effekt on the „average“ viewer. 👍

    Nyoka's stuff is so cool. I've seen their stuff go by a lot in the various bio groups. It's a neat idea for sure, though hard to say if they'll be successful. Don't get me wrong, the idea is clever, but scaling biotech is really really hard. Take it from someone literally trying to scale up a lab scale biotech project to industrial scale. It's very much non-trivial, even if the idea is very simple. Also the claim you can drink it is mega sus. And they will need a huge amount of certification that there is no contamination of the live genetically modified organisms in the liquid or it would be a felony to dump it down the sink. The EPA would be furious. And if it's just a lysed ecoli suspension it'll always smell awful. So ya, they've got some stuff to address.
    Also, I really hope those were "stunt" pipettes, cause those are expensive and dropping them like that will wreck them.
    Edit: They replied and clarified that they've already addressed all this, and this was just the demo version, so nvm I guess. Glad they're further along than I realized! Never gonna complain about more cool biotech companies doing cool stuff.

      Yep, I totally agree on the difficulty of implementation of bioluminescence! Biology is a whole different ballgame from tech, as you well know!

Every biologist should know how to calibrate / validate their pipettes & do it whenever they have a suspicious fall like this.

      ​@@thethoughtemporium Not to worry, I'm sure Linus is working on a follow up video about calibration of that dropped pipette right now! Right Linus?? Linus? Haha but more seriously: people get all up in arms about mistreating instruments - either pipettes, or things several orders of magnitude more expensive like LC-MS instruments. IMO, minor mistreatment and yes occasionally breaking them is part of the natural learning process, so my philosophy is scientists should be comfortable with pushing the envelope, potentially breaking things, & evaluating when they need to be fixed & how to fix things, and not be afraid if they did break something to ask for help. I can understand in self supported research that changes the equation a bit as each dollar available is more precious due to the limited funding sources, but at least in science education I lean towards the response being "that's okay, let's see what happened". Or at least that is what I tell myself to feel better about when I accidentally drop my pipettes :)

      virologist and molecular biologist here, this might help some begin to understand how mRNA vaccines work as well. Tip of an iceberg but a start. other than that is there a version of these products that has both molecules stable before and after binding that can reveresed by say the application of heat. so in the cool part of the loop they bind and emit light but on the addition of heat dissacociate ( pass through heat block over chip), rinse repeat. i guess it depends on how stable the protein or capable of refolding after the techicaly heat denaturing. awesome work either way and shows molecular biology/ bio chemistry off well, in way lots can see and understand. ahh beer and now i cant stop thinking grr

    This is a long comment/suggestion. But I hope you read the whole thing.
    Using luciferase, luciferin, ATP, and O2 to catalyze an enzymatic luminescence reaction inherently runs into the problem of running out of substrate which then requires refilling the loop with more substrate as you mentioned. The glow stick company needs to use the luciferase system since no additional ingredients are required other than the ones already provided in the stick. But for a PC, you can take advantage of one key ingredient that is already present in any self-respecting gaming PC, RGB light.
    I would suggest using fluorescent proteins which can absorb specific colors of light and then emit a longer wavelength color light. The most famous is probably green fluorescent protein (GFP). If you filled your loop with GFP, it would look like a dull yellow-green fluid. But once you turn on the blue RGB in your PC, that blue light will get absorbed and then be emitted as a visibly green glow. This glow would be recharged every time the GFP solution encounters blue light from the various RGB lights in your PC along the loop.
    I have no idea exactly how this would look, but you could play with the proximity of RGB sources to the GFP loop to see if that affects the intensity of the glow. And you could use different RGB effects like strobing to see how that changes the glow of the GFP as it absorbs light unevenly and flows through the loop. You might be able to make a pulsating wave pattern. Or the least exciting would be that the blue RGB in the case simply bleeds all over the place and the entire loop lights up uniformly regardless of what RGB effects you try.
    EDIT!!! I just thought of another ingredient a PC has...heat! You could tag the GFP to a liquid-liquid phase separating protein. These proteins form droplets like oil under certain conditions, one of which is temperature. Thus you could have this glowing green liquid that mixes well at high temperatures but demixes into droplets at cooler temperatures. So you could observe the relative temperature of your coolant in the loop...or an 80C CPU block will just denature everything it touches...

    • @user-cv3ph9bh9r
      @user-cv3ph9bh9r 3 роки тому

      I think you could even get a work around to the GFP being thermally stable when it touch a cpu blocl. According to a study by Ishii et al., "Study of the thermal stability of GFP in glucose parental formulations" in 2007, you should be able to have GFP fluroesce even up to 100C in the right conditions. so it could not denature, or denature more slowly as it lights up!

    I really enjoyed this! I love science, Linus delivers things so well and I honestly wasn’t bothered at all that computers were hardly involved. I’d super appreciate more videos of this style thrown into the regular mix more often ☺️☺️

    As an ophthalmology resident who used to love molecular biochemistry back in med-school and a PC/tech enthusiast (if I may), it is euphoric to see scientific topics I relate to on my favorite tech channel. Somehow I feel rewarded and appreciated for my role in life. I'm totally sure these young scientists are having a blast, too. Science is cool, it only needs more recognition... *cough" and a sprinkle of RGB and 4K footage.
    By the way, this is also quite the same way the new vaccines work. Only instead of Luciferin code and E. coli, it's Antigen-fragment code and human cells. Don't be afraid guys, it works.

      @@captainheat2314 Unless you want to, you won't. Instead of injecting oneself with the actual virus (old vaccines) you are just ordering your cell protein-builders to build its arms or legs to recognize it once it actually shows up. By the way, this has been happening in your cells every time you caught a cold. Yes, viruses inject code and replicate the same way. Had cold viruses RGB-coding segments, we would have had RGB nasal secretions. Unfortunately?

    I absolutely adore how you give us the background knowledge to understand how bioluminescence works and even how the gene manipulation involved functions. You're a tech channel, but you have such a broad horizon. Love it!

    As a Biotech student I genuinely freaked out when Linus dropped the pipette lol. Not that it was unexpected, but cuz those bad boys are so expensive and prone to break as well as to be wrongly adjusted. A small touch and they could go haywire

    Bioluminescence is so captivating, natural biological chemistry that occurs but is found practically exclusively to marine life.
