Mercury 501

We met on Sunday, October 9. We have narrowed the function of our nano machine to a few options. The reason the membrane potential is off begins with glucose. Too much glucose causes the ratio of ATP to ADP to shift in the favor of ATP. This extra ATP inhibits the potassium channel leaving the cell. Potassium then accumulates inside the membrane and affects the voltage gated calcium channel. This calcium channel remains open allowing the free flow of calcium ions and activates the release of too much insulin. We are trying to decide where we will incorporate our nano machine. We will meet again on Wednesday.
