How "light-sensitive" proteins are being used to fuel scientific discovery | 25 - Brandon Berry

You can see how enthusiastic Brandon is. Great discussion on optogenics . WOW.

Interesting conversation guys. A lot of information so I even took some notes. Optimized longevity potential - is Conserved Biology not extended Biology. Mitochondrial Membrane potentials are directly correlated to aging. * AMPk - - - - - - - - - - - will put the mito in low energy consumption mode. * Calorie Restriction - will put the mito in low energy consumption mode. * Oligomycin - will charge the mito membrane. * The combination results in a "maximum potential achieved. " "The tank is full, and your burning efficiently... Resulting in longevity." Metformin's inhibition effect stresses the homeostasis of mitochondria, activating an immune response and engages autophagy of aged mito. * The body responds by producing new mitochondria, and the new mito starts off with a full charge. Rapamycin is suppressing the immune response and preventing the senescence/autophagy of aged mito. * This keeps the Mito charged for a little bit longer, and around for a little bit longer.

PI-student dynamic is hard to shake off "what does it mean to XYZ" :) lovely talk!

i'm a computer programmer and i find the cell mechanisms fascinating. thanks for explaining ampk ! i always wondered what it was. i knew it was upstream of mtor. anyways, pretty interesting !!

Rhodopsins were originally pioneered in the laboratory of Late Dr.H.G.Khorana at MIT, who in 1969 received the Nobel Prize for deciphering the Genetic Code

I wish we talk about eating algae and having sunbath . Will it t increase membrane potential? Also is it better to increase potential by bypassing complex1 (using mito on or fadh)

[@bigcat9977]

Feel like I'm getting some mito-on during my daily outdoor walks, from sun light.

[@kamanashisroy]

What if we eat some algae in previous night ? Will it increase the proton emitting proteins ?

[@sticksstonesbuildmybones7837]

Could you comment about the "light" he is using; lots of wavelengths to consider...

[@rigaleb]

Maybe mito-on helps better mitochondria to deplete deuterium so that the ATPase doesn't break down because the double of the atomic weight of deuterium vs protium.
