But in terms of chemistry, you absolutely cannot have a translation machinery without chemistry.

And so, as I said, there are four main steps.

These are the core steps that are conserved in all translation machinery.

And I should say, all life has this machine, right?

Every cell, everything.

On Earth.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

I cannot separate the two.

I think what makes this machinery fascinating is that those five components that I listed, they coexist.

So for instance, if we, let's just...

Talking about the chemistry part, we know the certain rate constant all these proteins that operate in this machinery needs to harbor in order to get the mechanism going.

If you are bringing the information to the translation machinery and you are the initiator of this computation system, you can only afford a certain range of mistakes.

If you're too fast, then the next message cannot be delivered fast.

If you're too slow, then you may stall the process.

So there is definitely a chemistry constant going on within the machinery.

Again, it's not perfect, far from it, but they all have their own margin of error that they can tolerate versus they cannot, otherwise the system collapses.

I like that you said jazz.

It's definitely true.
