CRYPTOCHROME
5G got into me, morphogenetic
chimpanzee poetry. Neuroscience
sees the right brain as monkey mind
Let me start by saying, I am not a scientist
just a mere poet, gripped. I took a massive
stroke in 2005, my left brain was erased
so I live on the write side so how come.
I understand the divided brain. I have been
writing for years on my sense that Raymond -
Carver and Patrick Kavanagh are here in
the realm of possibility. Me becoming poet
was accidently on purpose, a signal of humanity.
mitting waves of humanity. I believe
that D.N.A. is sent to strands of D.N.A.
via waves of cryptochrome like
microwave signals.
My life and my poems have been about seeking
Feeling not meaning, we have been searching
For metre rhyme and meaning but the Portuguese
Poet Fernando Pessoa said ‘it is not necessary just
Cryptochromes (from the Greek κρυπτός χρώμα, "hidden colour") are a class of flavoproteins found in plants and animals that are sensitive to blue light. They are involved in the circadian rhythms and the sensing of magnetic fields in a number of species. The name cryptochrome was proposed as a portmanteau combining the chromatic nature of the photoreceptor, and the cryptogamic organisms on which many blue-light studies were carried out.[1][2]
The two genes Cry1 and Cry2 code the two cryptochrome proteins CRY1 and CRY2.[3] In insects and plants, CRY1 regulates the circadian clock in a light-dependent fashion, whereas in mammals, CRY1 and CRY2 act as light-independent inhibitors of CLOCK-BMAL1 components of the circadian clock.[4] In plants, blue-light photoreception can be used to cue developmental signals.[5] Besides chlorophylls, cryptochromes are the only proteins known to form photoinduced radical-pairs in vivo.[6]
Cryptochromes have been the focus of several current efforts in optogenetics. Employing transfection, initial studies on yeast have capitalized on the potential of Cry2 heterodimerization to control cellular processes, including gene expression, by light.
