For example, proteins can be broken into amino acids.

It's possible because the mycelium produces oxalic acids, and many other acids and enzymes, pockmarking rock and grabbing calcium and other minerals and forming calcium oxalates.

Well it has a simple DNA structure that you can go in and cut and paste additional DNA sequences into it.

Of total fat, the composition of the oil can be 55 ω 3, 18 ω 6, 6 ω 9, and 10 saturated fat.

These micro machines, which are the envy of nanotechnologists the world over, are self directed, powerful, precise, accurate devices that are made out of strings of amino acids.

Our hunter ancestors ate fat, which was transported to the liver and broken down by the lipolytic pathway to deliver fatty acids to the mitochondria (the subcellular structures that burn food to create energy).

Naphthalenes substituted with combinations of strongly electron donating functional groups, such as alcohols and amines, and strongly electron withdrawing groups, especially sulfonic acids, are intermediates in the preparation of many synthetic dyes.

When Juan Enriquez told us about these 12 trillion bits being transferred back and forth, of all this genomics data going to the proteomics lab, that's what Barricelli imagined that this digital code in these machines is actually starting to code it already is coding from nucleic acids.
