Streptavidin and streptactin can't be used interchangeably.
I wish I had educated myself about this before I wasted a day (and reagents) on a failed experiment. But at least now with first-hand experience, I will never forget this lesson. 😅

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #ai and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.

Is biology too complex to ever understand? - Bert Hubert's writings
Note: This article covers a lot of well-trodden ground, although this post has the benefit of 1) being rather brief and 2) advancing slightly on from earlier work. Noam Chomsky wrote 39 dense pages of philosophy on this subject in “Mysteries of Nature: How Deeply Hidden”. Evolutionary’s leading light Ernst Meyr wrote a whole book called “What makes biology unique”. Finally, a lot of this thinking is also covered in the quite philosophical work “The way of the Cell” by Franklin M.
