Wilson
Hey Ivyna, I just read about a wildflower that seems to generate a unique enzyme capable of breaking down cellulose faster than anything else—think of the potential for biofuel if we could harness it. Want to help me design a quick experiment to test its efficiency?
Ivyna
That sounds fascinating! I'd love to help. Maybe we can start by collecting a few specimens, keeping a controlled environment, measuring the enzyme activity with a simple assay, and running a few replicates so we can see if the wildflower’s enzyme does what we hope. Let me know what you need, and we can set it up together.
Wilson
Sounds like a plan! Grab a few dozen buds, set up a small greenhouse with controlled light and humidity, and I’ll write a quick protocol to pull the enzyme out and mix it with a cellulose substrate; we’ll monitor the glucose release with a colorimetric test. Don’t forget to label everything and do at least three replicates—science doesn’t care for sloppy data. Let’s make a coffee, grab those flowers, and get to work.
Ivyna
That sounds lovely, thank you for organizing it so thoughtfully. I’ll bring a fresh cup of tea, pack the buds carefully, and we’ll set up the greenhouse together. A calm, steady approach will make this experiment feel almost like tending a garden. Let's get started when you're ready.
Wilson
Great, I’ll be ready with the glassware and the assay kit. Bring those buds, and we’ll set the lights just right. Coffee’s on me, and I’m sure the flowers will thank us for the attention. Let's get started!
