omg im so far behind im just watching it now.

lmfaoooo @ eternal freak song

i love jackson. he is SUCH a great actor

ok i guess i should read back before i offer to look at the chemistry figures

From my text book

The idea of a catalytic role for snRNA arose from the discovery of ribozymes. RNA molecules that function as enzymes. In some organisms, RNA splicing can occur without proteins or additional RNA molecules: The intron RNA functions as a ribozyme and catalyzes its own excision! For example, in the protozoan Tetrahymena, self-splicing occues in the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), a component of the organism's ribosomes. The pre-rRna actually removes it's own introns.
The fact that RNA is single stranded plays an important role in allowing certain RNA molecules to function as ribozymes. A region of an RNA molecules may base-pair with a complementary region elsewhere in the same molecules, this imparting specific structure to the RNA molecules as a whole. Also, some of the bases contain functional groups that may participate in catalysis. Just as the specific shape of an enzymatic protein and the functional groups on its amino acid side chains allow the protein to function as a catalyst, the structure of some RNA molecules allows them to function as catalysts too. The discovery of ribozymes rendered obsolete the belief that all biological catalysts were proteins.

RNA processing: RNA splicing. The RNA molecule shown here codes for beta-globin, one of the polypeptides of hemoglobin. the numbers under the RNA reger to codons; beta-globin is 146 amino acids long. the beta-globin gene and its pre-mRNA transcript have three exons, corrresponding to sequences that will leave the nucleus as mRNA. the 5' UTR and 3' UTE are partes of exons because they are included in the mRNAl however, they do not code for protein.) During RNA processing, the introns are cut out and the exons spliced together.

Thomas Cech, of the University of Colorade and Sidney Altman of Yale University found that RYNA, which plays a central role in protein synthesis, can also carry out a number of enzyme-like catalytic functions. Cech called these RNA catalysts Ribozymes. Some ribosymes can make complementary copies of short pieces of RNA, provided that they are supplied with nucleotide building blocks.

a ribozyme capable of replicating RNA. This RNA molecule can make a complementary copy of another piece of RNA (a template_ containing up to 14 nucleotides.

it is just me thts freaked out tht stuff like this could actually happen and could be happening? lol

why didnt daniel read the rest of the letter

there are alwaysss!!!!! codes and does he never learn that he cannot crack it without the lonely crackers doing it for him, geeezz that was stupid of him!!!

anyway i am usual no help and even less when it comes to science and confusing stuff

but this video was awesome so i wanted to comment on it

i hope bree is ok but i still dont trust that beast, remember all his zombie books agesssss ago and now hes talkin about zombies, i dont trust him as far as i can throw him

anywhooo good look to u researching hope u find something that would be a breakthrough lol

peace xx

If the HoO videos are as old as the father's day card, wouldn't Bree have recognised the two people she's with (can't remember their names, sorry!) in Daniel's and Jonas' party video?

i haven't heard much about RNA since biology. but i know that if you hit enough RNA with enough electrons in causes a jolt which causes the RNA to move simulating a larger life form.

p.s. daniel should put the letter up. he know's he can't crack the codes himself.

um, i guess the mention of Jared Scharff and the Royals by Jonas is not a clue? The song used was "shoot to kill"!

Oh come on! We need a new video. At least I do. I need a distraction so I don't end up texting the guy I like..Who my friend also likes. Shes like always talking to him constantly so I hope he gets sick of her and more interested in me since I'm more hard to get yet interesting and such. Hehehe. I'm so evil. But he texted me last night and it seems to be working well.

Wow that was off topic, but anyway, I want a new freaky video from Bree.

I dare say they may have already done it. Jonas is so mischievous in how he brings her up. Almost teasing in fact. That he used the word "enticing" even suggests that her attempts are working.

And then there's how comfortable the Beast and Sarah seemed to be talking to each other at the end, and that infinitely cute "But I'm your freak" line. Also, look at Daniel's reaction to that. I think this may be a man in love:

Yep, I think they've done it already. The Beast emerges now at last.

Ahh if they've hooked up already why cant we see some action? is a kiss to porno for the show or something? come on lets not be prudes.

LOL Sarah has been living with them only a few days and she acts like she owns the place, putting signs on the door. I love her. too bad we only heard her voice.

Not sure if this is relevant. But some people mentioned that the date on the papers marked "10/13/06" which is Friday the 13th. The supposed hidden message from the Hymn of One commercials, reads "help her Friday". Also, the video from 10/13/06 was "I Completed The Ceremony" (video 51). I was wondering if there is any connection to Friday the 13th. The next one is in July 2007, after that there's not another one till June 2008. Not sure if that matters or I'm just looking too deep.

Awwww....jealous I am. LOL He looks so funny and cute when he says that. Though your avie looks kind of weird because Jonas is doing that, but Daniel never moves. LOL

If Bree's dad was giving her the shots to make her trait negative, why was Julia getting shots, too? Isn't she already trait negative?

Well, Daniel never moved in the video when Jonas said it, so ya know. haha.

idk i <3 it, it makes me giggle, will never fail.
