Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 579

[Chapter 578 Boundaries]

The corners of Li Ang’s mouth were upturned, and he said with a smile, “Why did my whole body feel so painful when I woke up, and it got better immediately after I installed the battery, and

why did the groove in the wall leave a sweet liquid after the figure in the rubber suit opened the stone wall,

Why in Room F, I was asked to use sugar cane to make battery fluid?

The reason is very simple, the so-called battery is not to provide energy for the clothes I am wearing,

but to provide energy for me.

This thing…”

He stretched out his finger He pointed to the glass cylinder on his left arm, “It’s actually just ordinary glucose.”

“…”

Alice didn’t speak, she just turned her head slightly and “looked” at the battery that Li Ang pointed to.

“Glucose, molecular formula C6H12O6, according to the explanation of Encyclopedia, it is the most widely distributed and most important monosaccharide in nature, a polyhydroxy aldehyde, which is the energy source and metabolic intermediate product of living cells, that is, the main energy supply material for organisms. However ,

the glucose here refers to D-glucose,

and the tube on my shoulder is L-glucose.”

Li Ang rubbed the bridge of his nose pressed by the mask, and said calmly: “The last one between D-glucose and L-glucose Different hydroxyl positions have different

chirality, which are mirror images of each other and are enantiomers.

The so-called chirality is an essential property of nature. The

carbon atom has four chemical bonds and can connect four functional groups.

Due to the variety of functional groups Diverse, organic matter also has asymmetry, that is, chirality.

When a carbon atom is used as the chiral center, there will be two spatial structures.

The atoms of the two configurations have the same composition, but they are mirror images of each other,

just like human The left hand, like the right hand, cannot be rotated to achieve coincidence,

Chiral substances are usually identified by RS or DL.

Molecules with different configurations only have changes in the three-dimensional structure, but may be very different in physiological and pharmacological activities.

For example, a thalidomide drug,

its R type can play a sedative effect and relieve the vomiting of pregnant women, so it is used as a drug to inhibit pregnancy reaction,

but the S type has a strong teratogenic effect

. S separation, the result is a large number of deformed fetuses.

The same goes for this tube of L-glucose.

Normal D-glucose goes through the non-aerobic glycolysis pathway, the aerobic tricarboxylic acid cycle and the biological oxidation process to generate carbon dioxide and water, releasing more energy and storing it in the form of ATP

. The enantiomer, L-glucose, cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase, which means it cannot be used by normal mammals. ”

Li Ang pointed to his nose,” In other words, I’m not a normal mammal. Alice asked softly: ”

How did you know it was L-glucose…”

“The reason is simple,”

Li Ang shrugged, “In fact, as a puzzle game, he gave me a hint of Also too much.

The envelope in room A has the smell of lemon,

room E has a musty smell of menthol,

aspartyl tastes like crying, and

limonene has the same lemon fragrance as the envelope in room A.”

He picked up the Several bottles tied by the cloth strips were introduced one by one, “Menthol is a kind of cyclic monoterpenoid, which is a highly volatile essential oil produced by plants.

Menthol has a cool mint aroma, but its enantiomer D- Menthol has a musty smell.

Asparagine is sweet, but its enantiomer, R-asparagine, is bitter.

Limonene has two chiral subclasses, one is lemon-flavored and the other is orange-flavored.

Before I crossed the stone gate, I always smelled lemon,

and now…”

He opened the jar containing limonene, took a deep breath, and smiled at Alice, “it becomes Orange flavored.

If I guessed correctly, one of the effects of this corridor

is to flip the whole body of the entrant,

making the person mirror-symmetrical, so that all the small protein and nucleic acid molecules in the body undergo chirality inversion together.

The consequence

is that those who enter the tunnel cannot use conventional D-glucose,

but can only use artificially synthesized L-glucose as an energy source – this is why I am limited to only three hours of activity time,

and also The alchemist said that going down the well will bring sequelae, and special clothing must be used to isolate the reason for the effect. ”

He raised his arm, pointed his thumb to the stone wall behind him, and smiled, “Do you remember the password for the door of Room E?

mobius, mobius.

Take a long white strip of paper, paint the reverse side black,

then flip one end over and

connect the ends to form a Möbius strip.

If you take a circle along the Mobius, then left becomes right, and up becomes down, just like the

inversion of chirality.

Well, it’s the Mobius belt, it’s the tunnel,

the special clothes the alchemist said is the one I’m wearing – but this clothes may be missing some key parts, so

in fact I didn’t block the chirality reverse effect,

It didn’t return to normal until he walked out of the stone wall. Li Ang said solemnly: ”

In Room D, the alchemist’s own desk calendar said that he would

go to Amesdoris for his wife on the 3.2nd to receive the Medal of the Alchemist Zhizhi from the President, and at the

same time . Also visit my teacher who is currently working on alkylating agents.

Alkylating agents are a class of highly active chemical compounds, belonging to cytotoxic drugs, which can form carbocations or other compounds with active electrophilic groups in the body,

and then interact with biological macromolecules in cells. The group of electrons is covalently bound, making it inactive or breaking the DNA molecule. It

is mainly used in malignant lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It

just corresponds to a certain disease of your sister Hirid as mentioned in the conversation. .

Considering that the development of medicine and chemistry in this world is not high, there is a high probability that the technology of high-efficiency chiral catalysts has not been developed.

Your father should want to use the chirality inversion function of wells or corridors to make hands. Sex-specific medicine for the disease of the youngest daughter.

Unfortunately,

tragedy happened before the final result,

forcing your father to take the most extreme measures. Li Ang reached out and patted the

stone wall of the tunnel, and said calmly, “This tunnel probably not only has the ability to invert chirality,

but also has the function of twisting time and creating cycles.

It’s like a Mobius ring that never ends,

or a vicious ouroboros that devours its own tail out of greed.

In this corridor, the cause is the effect, the effect is the cause,

the boundaries between time and space no longer exist,

and the gap between the past and the future is completely blurred.

This mansion, this tragedy, has never been behind the scenes,

or rather, the only one behind the scenes

is the alchemist himself, which is myself. ”
