Glucose came before cells did
A question was posed in our Carbohydrates Chemistry class regarding glucose. Every biochemistry student surely knows that glucose is the ubiquitous energy source of catabolic pathways. The question is, why?
Apparently, one of the proposed reasons is that it is present before life existed, hence, it is already waiting and available when the first living organism first appeared. Details are in this 2008 journal:

Other notes and homeworks concerns in our class will be published to my other site so as not to crowd this one too much
Otome Game: Scarlet Fate+
I’ve recently been playing the free android otome game Scarlet Fate+. It is the remake of the Hiiro no Kakera series’ Shirahana no Ori. I think its the fourth game made under that franchise.

New letters for the genetic code
This is the link to article. Apparently, they managed to insert a new base pair to the DNA and succeeded in integrating it in the gene expression machinery. This would exponentially expand the number of codons possible and introduce novel amino acids (aside from the 20), creating new proteins.
Attempt at cooking
I have always been a bad cook and as per the bucket list for 2014, I should at least attempt to prepare one dish. And so, I tried making California Maki 🙂
