Thanks for the deep dive Brian. Now, let me introduce a molecule that should strike terror into everyone who has read your piece: Carboxyhemoglobin!!!!

Yes, that's what results when CO gets introduced into this elegantly balanced system. Deadly based on the very strong binding of CO vs either O2 or CO2.

Anyway, I also want to say that you attract the coolest group of anti-reductionist commentors here. Love the comments reflecting on the complexity of biological life... and my additional comment would be, based on the many years of experiments run by Dean Radin showing how our consciousness can to a measurable degree collapse the wave function via double slit-based monitoring, that this complexity extends far beyond the biology.

Finally, I have come up with a new way to describe IgG4 antibodies. NPC antibodies.

Life is amazing, when we begin to understand the intricate evolved complexity underlying its most basic functions.

Thanks for giving us this essay that explains hemoglobin’s miraculous (to me) function, in understandable terms. I knew Michael Rossman a little bit, He was a colleague of my fathers. I knew he was an x-ray crystallographer.

I thought I hated ad breaks. But you've managed to make them fun.

I remember the TRS-80, Vic 20, and Commodore 64. Our family had no Atari; only programs on cassette tapes.

Little did I know it would become my love coupled with geography to work as a GIS Developer. I nearly switched to the Biocomputing field 20 years later. One year into a masters program looking to help solve the protein folding problem by predicting protein synthesis by means of mRNA sequencing, I quit the program to support family interests instead. I'm so glad I did or I would likely have been tied up in all of this mess. This is how I knew the shots were experimental. It is not so much that research with good intentions is bad, as it is the crossing of ethical lines time and time again.

Regardless of my background, I am just a mom who rightly prioritizes the safety of our children and takes the founding principles of our country to heart.

Hoping people wake up fast. The human body can only tolerate so much.

hi brian - you might find the below podcast interesting. your post sort of made me understand better what they are saying. most of us are layman, coming into this without much understanding of how human body is build and functions. i wonder what is your take on the below podcast ...
