S2

S2 shows how ice grown in liquid nitrogen sends a beam of 4 micron infra red to a pool of primordial soup, where it energises (phosphorylates) nucleotides, which polymerize to form DNA.

S1

S1 shows a 2D version of the lasing transition in iceIt.

Y5

Y5 shows a stereo pair of a transfer RNA, with its 'hole', lined with hydrogen bonds.

M2

M2 is a collage of cell components which are just the right size to resonate with 4 micron quanta.

S3

S3 shows the mechanism of the transport DNA membrane pump.

M1

M1 illustrates the uncoiling of the double helix and the flat beta-pleated sheet of protein to which it neatly binds.

M3

M3 gives views of the DNA-protein complex which is the basis for packing DNA in the chromosome.

E2

E2 shows this packaging resulting in 'minions' with 9 coils, each having 189 DNA base pairs bound to 21 beta-pleated sheets - the 'chip' in the brain.

Y3

Y3 shows the trace element selenium at work controlling blood pressure. Selenium is deficient in junk food diets, resulting in much disease.

W1

W1 in red-green stereo, shows how adrenaline etc has evolved to carry sodium and potassium ions across nerve membranes at synapses.
