a creative detour, false associations while exploring the 7-tubulin "bytes" organization on MT lattices

in #depricated7 years ago (edited)

What if B-Lattice does not have "seam" but is an A-lattice that is skewed/spiraled?

Thinking out loud.. the "seam" could be a mis-perception from assuming the directionality. With an 8-step repetition (Fibonacci series), there is seamless reptition.

and you have hegagonal 7-tubulin "bytes" like this,

Looks really wonderful such a cool and fantastic architectural design :)

what is it used for? tieing togheter?

memory storage and computation, the seat of the soul probably. CAMKII has been associated with long term memory since the 80s and is now shown to bind to and write data to microtubule lattices

here is a model for how those 7-tubulin memory "bytes" could fit on a 13 filament microtubule,

Design is super cool. Thanks of sharing :)
