Ammonium sulphate precipitation assay pH dependence @Anake, I would look up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmeister_series |

Use of amino-acid sequences versus use of nucleotide sequences in phylogenetic analysis This is a good answer to a similar question. quora.com/… |

Are there any substance that are more dangerous at low dose than at higher dose? Dihydrogen Monoxide is a brutal killer. |

Why is membrane potential not zero at equilibrium? Not only are you battling the electronic potential, you're also battling chemical potentials. I'll let a cellular physiologist handle the answer. |

Creating a cell, not from another cell. Will it be possible? There is the more recent work by Szostak on artificial protocells. The IVC world all aims to achieve this to some degree. |

Which enzyme catalyzes transcription and which translation? This would be a great time to look up what the 2009 nobel prize was awarded for. |

Is DNA mutation locally energetically stabilizing the DNA molecule @Hanuman, from a stat thermo point of view, the polymer isn't merely a single molecule but rather beads on a string. From what I understand, you should be able to quantify entropy by comparing the number of states W. Furthermore, in the problem that you are providing, you are not looking at a single DNA molecule but external factors like mutagens and enzymes. Those molecules will act in concert to increase the entropy of the system. |

Why are some berries poisonous? I have no clue whether or not it is true but maybe it is for the same reason why pathogenic bacteria are pathogenic. The berries are poisonous so that they can kill the host and that in turn is the mechanism of plant spread. |

Is DNA mutation locally energetically stabilizing the DNA molecule @hanuman, I'm with Masonk. DNA mutations are more a result of entropy than any enthalpic driving force. Plus, what system are we talking about, DNA? Cell? Life? |

How to learn DNA Origami According to Rothemund, the original algorithm in the DNA origami paper is the same and much improved in caDNAno. |

Why is it sometimes difficult to resuspend E. coli in P1? Are you pelleting using a swinging bucket centrifuge and the 50 mL falcons? If so, then the pellet should be squarely in bottom. That should make things easier. |

How to learn DNA Origami I would try to read everything from Shawn Douglas's body of work. cadnano is definitely the best start. |
