Both can be changed, and in ways that synergize with one another.  The composition of organisms is at some level a function of the monomers that are incorporated, while the mode of replication is based on the operation of Crick\u0027s Central Dogma in the context of a cell.  Both the Central Dogma and the need for cellularization are open to question, and both can potentially be changed in part by changing the underlying monomers required for replication and biological function.  This mystifying series of sentences will hopefully be deconvoluted by actual experimental approaches involving protein engineering, changing the genetic code, synthetic biology, and amorphous computation.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:hud@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Nicholas Hud\u003C\/a\u003E (404-385-1162).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Andrew Ellington, University of Texas\n\nNeolife: Redesigning living systems\n\nBiochemistry Division Seminar Series","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Andrew Ellington, University of Texas"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2011-03-02 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:50:45","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-04-18T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-04-18T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-04-18T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-04-18 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-04-18 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-04-18 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cm.utexas.edu\/andrew_ellington","title":"Prof. Andrew Ellington, University of Texas"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"919","name":"Biochemistry"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
