What reactions we want to have?

<< < (2/5) > >>

PurpleYouko:
So we just make it such that certain reactions (enzymes) are non-functional (or less functional) in different environmental conditions.

I am sure that some Sulfer reactions must be able to work with Oxygen present though. I don't think black smokers have zero oxygen around them. The heat must create convection currents that will bring in dissolved oxygen all the time, yet the creatures there manage to metabolize the sulfur quite happily.

I really like this bit pattern system that Num came up with.

That's why I thought that including gases was a problem...  Of course there is "some" oxygen around.  But there is very little and cells find ways to protect themselves.  Some build protective shells, others use up the oxygen as soon as it comes in.  When these organisms flourished, there was very little oxygen around.  Now they are marginalized.  And it is a matter of efficiency - some oxygen comes in, kills enzymes, but cells make more and so on.

You know, using sulfur sounds cool, but in essense it is exactly the same reaction as regular photosynthesis, only with different electron acceptors.

wanna hear a funny things guys? ive allready sugjested temperature to numsgil by msn :D and I think he said he liked it. but if we want the enzymes to be sensetive to things, we can add pH also.

and shvarz, they used sulfur in the begining, why I dont know. but when they started using water they got something much better, O2 which could be used to get even more energy from glucose.

anyway, back to sensetivity. if you want reactions to be sensetive to things, you can add a "periodic table" whit all the elements and some stats.

like "thingy" (thingy just poppeed up in my head) where O can have 5 and S 3, so when O is present the sulfur reactions have problems but isnt completly helpless, if there is 5 S reactions and there is only 2 O there would still be 3 capable of working. and so on, in that way you can make reactions not work perfect whit certain elements, you can add more stuff if you want.

 and when it comes to temperature. we would need a temperature scale, celsius (ever played ToS?) or something we make up. could simply call the thing we make up for DB, man its 50°DB here :P . and then use some bits in the enzyme that tells the maximum and minimum temperature, and the closer thje temperature is to the value beetween max and min, the better it worx.

 if there is a big glap between max and min the enzyme cost alot, whit a little glap cost much less. And if we want pH, we could do the same, but there we dont need the same amount of bits. the original pH scale goes from -2 to 16, but to remove the - we can make it 0-18, or even if we want 0-10 to make it even easier (why am I simplefieng when I hate it?).

 whit all this we come whit that the sensetivity of chemicals is decieded by a periodic table, the sensitivity of pH and Tmp (temperature) is decieded by the code. if you guys want I can come up whit the tmp system and the pH to, I would love doing it.

 plz let me do it, my brain have had nothing challenging to do for a weekend. how about this system?

Numsgil inserted paragraph breaks. whit out zelos knowing anything :angry:

Zelos:
take a look here and read

Botsareus:
I did , but I think they are taking time to comprehand it....
