    Computational protein engineer here. Pretty good explanation. I wanted to add that just because we know that a protein’s behavior changes depending on pH, it is still interesting to see what atom-level changes to the 3D structure are caused by the pH shift (e.g. so that we can better predict those changes on other proteins).






  • Thanks for sharing! I agree with your main point about overall emissions not changing too much since most of that reduction comes from feedlots already.

    One small addition: the product that I originally linked is based on 3-nitrooxypropanol, a petrochemical-derived active ingredient, not from red algae (so there is probably a different calculation about production cost and CO2 impact than growing, processing and transporting red algae on a large scale).
