   This is one of their major down pitfalls. Why is this a bad thing? Oxygen is the 3rd most abundant element and has special features that make it “*life and light friendly”.* Since life is carbon-based, and among the elements, only 9 are more electronegative than carbon. This means we have few atomic choices that can serve as electron acceptors from carbon-based life forms. Of the 9, selenium, sulfur, iodine, krypton, bromine, nitrogen, chlorine, oxygen, and fluorine, oxygen ranks second in electronegativity to fluorine. This means the reduction of oxygen (adding of electrons) provides close th…

   It's got 12 electrons. So, when you put it inside that cage, it means light can't affect its oxidation state. So, what did that do? They took CO2, created more oxygen, and that's how you got the whole food uh pyramid. That's where every single food web ties back to that process. 50 year 50 million years later, right at the beginning of the Cambrian explosion, evolution kicks out the idea of heme proteins. Where does it get this idea? From the story I just told you. Oxygen now is going from 0% up to like 10 or 15% and oxygen's toxic, so they take bacteria and and archaea, put them together. And…

   For those of you who don't know, our atmosphere is made out of 71% nitrogen and 21% oxygen today. Back in this period or epic that me and Nick are talking about, it goes from literally less than 1% all the way up to 21%. So, so when life got started, it was a very very different oxygen environment with much less oxygen than we're used to. No oxygen. If you want to know the truth, the methanogens, this is where Nick Lane has done great work. um you know we used to use as a terminal electron acceptor metal ions you know uh that's really the key story and um you know life early on was anorobic hy…

   And isotopes in their reactions and their involvement in chemistry pretty much can substitute for the simplest form of the of the element. So deuterium can substitute. So let's take water, H2O, right? We normally think of that H as the simple H, one proton, one electron, and two of those combine with oxygen to form a water molecule. But you know what? Deuterium can do it too. So deuterium, let's if we call it D and this is where kind of it gets tricky cuz people are trying to track, okay, you call protium H, you call deuterium D. But so you can have two protium and oxygen to make a water molec…

   So what's the the next semiconductive protein that life innovates which I think most of you know uh that's called hemoglobin and it's similar to to um uh chlorophyll in terms of its basic structure. Right. Right. Well, when you talk about its basic structure, this is the key part that I think uh where biochemists begin to [ __ ] the bed. Everybody knows that it's in uh the same ring structure that magnesium is in, but you know that iron has 26 electrons. So much more complex because it can absorb more light. But there's something very peculiar about iron that people in biochemistry r…

   In recent papers on protonmotive redox mechanisms in cytochrome oxidase in [(1987) FEBS Lett. 222, 235-245] and [Glynn Biological Research Reports (1987) 3, 1-7], I have suggested that a copper centre may enable the H2O/OH or H2O/O couple to act as the hydrogen-carrying arm of a redox loop by means of a (CuOH2)+/(CuOH)+ or (CuOH2)+/(CuO)+ system at the centre. I here explain that critical comments by Malmström [(1988) FEBS Lett. 231, 268-269] on the first of these papers, which might also be levelled at the second, depend on a misunderstanding. I also respond to Malmström's comment about testi…

   Because where does that cytochrome Where is it found? This is important for you to understand. It's found right before the ATPase. So, you We're creating a huge amount of electrical resistance at that level, so that that energy then can be distributed to other places to cause other innovations in the cell. And doesn't that make sense when you think about the story that Darwin could never figure out? Why all of a sudden did we get 32 phyla seems like overnight? Well, because guess what? We figured out we needed to use photo-bioelectric resistance to capture the light to use it to do other thing…

   Oxygen is drawn to magnetic fields. So if you want to know why I told you a little while ago that uh breathing is quantized, you know that the FO head spins when you're using TCA cycle. That's 9,000 protons through the FO head. the FO head from Faraday's laws of electromagnetism that he found in 1851. The electron chain's got a current that goes through it that's got a 30 million volt charge. That's Nick Lane's work. This FO head spins 9,000 times a second. That's how you make ATP. Turns out that's discussed with TCA cycle dynamics. you know as a biochemist that's not true in glycolysis not tr…

   That's where the other cytochrome proteins are made. And the other cytochrome proteins further were able to make other uh magneto-chemistry, which is superoxide, hydrogen peroxide. These are all chemicals that become electric resistance molecules that slow light down to do different things distal to it. And when you actually see what nitric oxide does, it also acts at cytochrome c oxidase, which is the fourth cytochrome, right before the ATPase. So, now you have a cap on how hemoglobin can work, and it turns out when nitric oxide binds to hemoglobin at a significant amount when we're hypoxic, …

    This becomes an incredibly important issue in chloroplasts, RPE’s and mitochondria. WHY? All life on this planet uses one or the other to make energy from the sun using electrons and protons. It is why all cytochromes use Iron- sulfur (Fe-S) redox complexes where quantum mechanisms dominate what type of electron spins can be made from the waves out bodies are sensing.
