Just like the adenine nucleotide translocator moves ATP/ADP in and out, this one moves loose phosphate in.
Both of those together recycle the cellular respiration carriers from/to the mitochondria.
JCVI-syn3A by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
essential metabolism for a minimal cell (2019) mentions:
JCVI-syn3A, a robust minimal cell with a 543 kbp genome and 493 genes, provides a versatile platform to study the basics of life.
Based on JCVI-syn3.0, they've added a few genes back to give better phenotypes, including slightly faster duplication time. Because the development cycle time is your God is also true in biology.
As of essential metabolism for a minimal cell (2019) it had only 91 genes of unknown function! So funny.

Galilean moons by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Can you imagine when those guys started to see moons in other planets? They must have shat bricks. What better evidence can you have that the geocentric model could be wrong?

Started at Google Quantum AI in 2014.
Has his LaTeX notes at: github.com/DanielSank/theory. One day he will convert to OurBigBook.com. Interesting to see that he is able to continue his notes despite being at Google.

Then come the most important symbols:
Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
  4: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 hello_world
  5: 000000000000000d     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS hello_world_len
  6: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 _start
hello_world string is in the .data section (index 1). It's value is 0: it points to the first byte of that section.
_start is marked with GLOBAL visibility since we wrote:
global _start
in NASM. This is necessary since it must be seen as the entry point. Unlike in C, by default NASM labels are local.
As of 2021, last updated 2016, and python 3.5 appears to be mandatory or else:
RuntimeError: __class__ not set defining 'AbstractBaseUser' as <class 'django.contrib.auth.base_user.AbstractBaseUser'>. Was __classcell__ propagated to type.__new__?
which apparently broke in 3.6: stackoverflow.com/questions/41343263/provide-classcell-example-for-python-3-6-metaclass and pyenv install fails on Ubuntu 20.10, so... fuck. Workarounds at:but am I in the mood considering that the ancient Django version would require an immediate port anyways? Repo is at Django 1.0, while newest is now already Django 3. The Rails one is broken for the same reason. Fuck 2.
Parallel light by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Often just called collimated light due to the collimator being the main procedure to obtain it.
However, you move very far away from the source, e.g. the Sun, you also get essentially parallel light.
Exactly 1033 somatic cells on male, 959 on hermaphrodite, every time, counted as of 2020. A beauty.
Exactly 131 commit apoptosis in the hermaphrodite.
www.wormatlas.org/celllineages.html contains the full lineage as some huge and impossible to view images. This image was taken directly from The embryonic cell lineage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans where it is split across many pages, it is a thing of beauty on the PDF.
www.wormatlas.org/celllistsulston.htm contains a non-hierarchical table with the cells and their names.
We will sometimes just write them without superscript, as it saves typing and is useless.
ATP synthase by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
One of the most beautiful molecular machines known!
The first one with such complexity that was uncovered.
The thing rotates like a water wheel for God's sake, except it uses protons instead of water.
The ATP synthase complex is so large that Power, Sex, Suicide by Nick Lane (2006) page 123 contains a cryoEM image of several ATP synthases on small membrane vesicles, this is the paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bi00437a031# under a fucking paywall.
