Gamers Are Fierce 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 immediately improved after I installed the battery,

Why does the groove in the wall leave a sweet liquid after the figure in the rubber suit opens the stone wall,

Why is room F asking me to make battery fluid from sugar cane?

The reason is very simple, the so-called battery is not to provide energy for this suit on me,

It provides me with energy.

This stuff…”

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

“…”

Alice didn’t speak, 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, is the energy source and metabolic intermediate product of living cells, that is, the main biological Energy supply material.

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 hydroxyl position of D-glucose is different from that of L-glucose,

Different chirality, they are mirror images of each other, and they are enantiomers.

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

The carbon atom has four chemical bonds, which can connect four functional groups,

Because of the variety of functional groups, organic matter also has asymmetry, that is, chirality.

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

Atoms in the two configurations have the same composition, but are mirror images of each other,

Just like the human left and right hands, they cannot be rotated to achieve coincidence,

Chiral substances are usually identified by R-S or D-L.

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

A drug such as thalidomide,

The 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,

If R and S are not separated, the result will be 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 successively to generate carbon dioxide and water, releasing more energy and storing it in the form of ATP,

However, the enantiomer of D-glucose, L-glucose, cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase, which means it cannot be used by normal mammals. “

Li Ang pointed his finger at 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,”

Lee Ang shrugged, “In fact, as a puzzle game, he gave me too many hints.

The envelope in room A smells of lemon,

Room E has a musty smell of menthol,

Aspartyl, tastes like crying,

Limonene has the same lemony fragrance as the envelope in Room A”

He picked up several bottles tied with cloth strips at the waist and introduced them in turn, “Menthol is a type of cyclic monoterpenoid, a highly volatile essential oil produced by plants,

Menthol has a cool minty 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 of limonene, took a deep breath, and smiled at Alice, “It’s orange.

If I’m not mistaken, one of the effects of this corridor,

It is the whole body of the inverting entrant,

The mirror symmetry of the human body makes all the protein and nucleic acid small molecules in the body reverse the chirality together.

Consequences,

That is, those who enter the corridor cannot use conventional D-glucose,

And can only use artificially synthesized L-glucose as an energy source – that’s why I’m limited to three hours of activity,

At the same time, it is also the reason why the alchemist said that going down the well will bring sequelae, and special clothing must be used to isolate the effect. “

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

mobius, Mobius.

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

Then turn one end over,

The two ends are connected to form a Möbius strip.

If you take a circle along the Mobius, then the left becomes the right, the top becomes the bottom,

Exactly as a chirality reversal.

The well is the Mobius belt, the corridor,

The special outfit the alchemist is talking about is the one I’m wearing – but there might be some key parts missing from this outfit,

In fact, I did not block the chirality inversion effect,

It didn’t return to normal until after walking out of the stone wall. “

Li Ang said solemnly: “In Room D ~IndoMTL.com~ Alchemist’s own desk calendar says that he will be on the 3.2nd,

Go to Amestorius for his wife to receive the Order of the Alchemist of Plants from the President,

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 vivo.

And then covalently binds to the electron-rich groups in the biological macromolecules in cells, making them inactive or breaking DNA molecules,

Mainly used for malignant lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia,

Corresponding to what the conversation said, your sister Hirid has a certain disease.

Considering that the development of medicine and chemistry in this world is not high, there is a high probability that the technology of efficient chiral catalysts has not been pointed out,

Your father, should be trying to use the well, or the chirality inversion function of the tunnel, to make medicines with specific chirality to treat the disease of the youngest daughter.

Unfortunately, until the final result is reached,

The tragedy happened,

Persecute your father, using the most extreme means. “

Li Ang stretched out his hand and patted the stone wall of the tunnel, calmly said: “This tunnel probably not only has the ability to invert chirality,

It also has the ability to warp time and create cycles.

It’s like a Mobius ring that never ends,

Or the vicious ouroboros that devour their own tails out of greed.

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

Time and space no longer have boundaries,

The gulf between past and future is completely blurred.

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

Or, the only person behind the scenes,

That’s the alchemist himself, that’s me. “
