Todays morning session was hosted by Daniel Barr - Phd student. He had great analygies of the protein chains and the bondings. Explained that Ucariotes have a nucleus, and procariots, do not. The nuclius protects the DNA which is good and bad. Good that is keep ucariotes, such as humans, in a stable form; not morphing all over the place. Bad, because if something undesireable gets into the nucleus and affect the DNA in a negative way, such as HIV, it is difficult to get possible antidotes or treatments into the nucleus to undo the affects.
