Extracting DNA from strawberries and eating it
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2017
- This video is a bit different and more on the biochemistry side. During my Biochemistry degree, this was one prep that always amazed me.
I'll be extracting DNA from strawberries and then giving it a taste to see what it's like. Because I plan to eat it, I only use chemicals that are "food safe".
On a side note, it feels like I have been neglecting synthesis, so the next few videos are going to just synth projects only!

I forgot to mention in the video why the DNA precipitates. The DNA is not soluble in isopropanol, but it is soluble in water. The isopropanol is miscible with water, so as more is added, the solubility of DNA decreases. If enough is added, the DNA will fall out of solution.
Thank you, there is something in general (not related to this video that I dont get if you may explain), for example in the making of fuming nitric acid video you said that at 83 degrees some nitric acid decomposes, I'm just wondering, why only some of it decomposes if decomposition has a specific temperature? and if the boiling temperature and decomposition temperature are equal... what happens? this really confuses me.
Could you try recreating the Miller-Urey experiment?
I'll take a guess and suggest that it has to do with the presence of dinitrogen tetroxide and water. I suspect that these stabilize the nitric acid, and the temperature change upsets the balance. When enough nitric acid decomposes, then equilibrium is reached again.
Loved the look on your face as you tasted it!
Actually the ISO causes the DNA to cross-link due to its H20 sheath being removed. It has nothing to do with solubility. You can remove DNA from water without it precipitating. Only if you specifically strip it of its tight water coat it will it fall out of solution.

I remember doing this at a science event as a little kid, I always brought the DNA to school for show and tell. It’s nice to hear the process explained with more detail than when I was 7
I did a project on this for my seventh grade science class. I met my best friend through it who I love dearly and I fully believe he saved my life. So thank you, strawberry DNA, for giving me a really awesome person I can’t imagine my life without.
This is just wholesome
- Can access obscure, expensive, and potentially harmful chemicals
- Can't find plain dish soap
Because it's not produced as much anymore since scented or colored ones are more popular.
Lab grade chemicals however are different. There are lots of companies that produce them for research purposes.
He could synthesized it himself though. I heard it's pretty easy to do it if you're a chemist.

The sulfuric acid he buys easily is NOT pure tho.
It's all adulterated for better use as a drain cleaner.
NOTHING Is pure if it's supposed to be something that you end up smelling, or smelling like.
dude can easily make his own. Probably less toxic too but what do I know
But he did find a strawberry scented one, which is probably rarer. I think he's just addicted to strawberry and this whole video is just a bunch of excuses to develop a strawberry IV infusion.
Real easy to get sulphuric acid. Go to a bike shop and buy some for your battery: m/c batteries are shipped "dry." Or just go to an auto junkyard and siphon it from a battery. (Boil off the water, and NOT food grade due to lead contamination.)

As a biologist who does DNA extraction in the lab, you eating it makes me deeply uncomfortable.
Can you clone a dinosaur plz?
ƘØ• Booogie youd have to extract a complete enough DNA strain to actually code for a dinosaur (whatever one you mean). Biggest issue here is that because most prehistoric creatures are fossils (aka, a fancy, shaped rock), any DNA present is simply too fragmented to code for anything substantial, if anything at all.
However, there ARE some creatures who not only predate history, but also have enough DNA to actually code something. Think of things like cave lions and wooly mammoths.
The biggest issue is ethics: If we bring back, say, a wooly mammoth, we’d need to incubate the fetus in either a super close relative, or try to artificially do it. Basically, elephants are the easiest solution, but wooly mammoths tend to live in colder, arctic and arboreal climates... and elephants live in the hot, dry Savannah and the hot, moist rainforest. Basically, even if we brought it back, incubated it in an elephant, and the elephant ACTUALLY birthed it (cloning was hard enough, and the animal was the exact same), it would have to be taken care of away from anything like it knows. It would likely die of heat stroke anywhere elephants live, and it would be the only one of its kind, so if it DID live in its natural climate (which may not properly exist anymore, due to human intervention), it would be alone. And also: poachers are assholes.
Monsieur Mocha Interesting, well dem scientists better get on it, as for the poachers they can all eat shit and die
