The heart of the cellular activities are translation.

You kill translation, you kill the cell.

Not only the translation itself, you kill the component that initiates it, you kill the cell.

You remove the component that elongates it, you kill the cell.

So there are many different ways to disrupt this machinery.

All the parts are important.

Now, it can vary across different organisms.

We see variation between bacteria versus eukaryotes versus archaea, right?

So it is not the same exact steps, but...

and get more crowded as we get closer to eukaryotes, for instance.

But you are still computing about 20 amino acids per second, right?

This is what you're generating every second.

21 for bacteria, I believe 8 for eukaryotes or 9.

I think it's great.

I think, if you can show me a computer that does this, we are done here.

Yes, you can show me that, but you cannot show me the one that has all.

For now.

For now.

I think the more we learn about, and this is why early life and origin is also very fascinating and applicable to many different disciplines, right?

There's no way you see this the way we just described it unless you think about early life and early geochemistry and earliest emergent systems.
