I love reading anything about real-life unsolved mysteries.

helicases are a class of enzymes vital to all living organisms. their main function is to unpackage an organism's genes. they are motor proteins that move directionally along a nucleic acid phosphodiester backbone, separating two annealed nucleic acid strands (i.e., DNA, RNA, or RNA-DNA hybrid) using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. there are many helicases resulting from the great variety of processes in which strand separation must be catalyzed. approximately 1% of eukaryotic genes code for helicases. the human genome codes for 95 non-redundant helicases: 64 RNA helicases and 31 DNA helicases. many cellular processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, translation, recombination, DNA repair, and ribosome biogenesis involve the separation of nucleic acid strands that necessitates the use of helicases.

Today I actually got a little excited because the website Awful Library Books showed a textbook printed in the 70's called "The Teen Guide to Homemaking" that was the same one we had in home ec class... in the late 80's-early 90's!

And even then it was outdated. Things like microwave ovens were still pretty new in 1977, and they're not even mentioned. Everyone in the photos was dressed like a member of the Brady Bunch. In fact most of our schoolbooks back then looked like they were made in the 70's. We had a lousy budget. But at least our parents didn't have to go out and buy new textbooks every year we went back to school.

i had my first major exam of the semester, and i feel like i did well. don't know my grade just yet, though....usually it takes a couple weeks to get them all done.

things i could have studied more:

PCR primers

directionality of nucleic acid strands

molecular structure of nucleobases

rho dependent and independent termination

Sticking a 9 volt battery on your tongue is an unpleasant experience.

Putting ear buds in your nose is gross.
Ha ha, that rhymed. Sort of.

Moonlight won Best Picture last night during the Oscars, not La La Land.

Roger Federer won his first match in Dubai! I'm so excited. Denis Istomin is playing tomorrow.

One does not simply eat one Jaffa Cake.

The ad slogan "Betcha can't eat just one" can be interpreted in a very different way i.e. the food product tastes so awful you can't even put one in your mouth and start chewing without spitting it out in disgust.

I really do like the Canadian Football League.
