Looking at the line four times doesn't make it look any more like the lines you suggest. That "long rare word" looks like two words to me Also, I see a very strong four letters (possibly "tool") where you see "for".deagol wrote:You don't see a similarity in the words' lengths? I see a clear three-letter word starting with F.. and then a long word starting in NUC... and ending in ...PHILIC, and then the 2' OH.sack36 wrote:Except for the last bit 2'-OH, I don't see any resemblance.
Also, the written text came from the bottom of a page in the notebook, and has no relationship to the diagrams on the loose pages.
The written text does came from the page where the first hairpin ribozyme diagram is shown, right below it. In the linked website, the text appears below that same diagram, as shown in my screencap before, or as you can check yourself by following the link.
Wouldn't you think it would be too much coincidence that both diagrams are exactly the same as in that page, and the text looks so similar, with that long rare word, and the undisputable 2'OH below the first diagram, as in the web page? To me it's pretty clear they based the diagrams and the scribbled notes on this web page, or perhaps on the book which this web page was based on (Rupert, 2002, see the diagram credits in my previous post).
Now about the part of your text I bolded. I didn't say exactly the same, I said similar; and the more I research on this the more I'm inclined to rescind that. Let me show you a page I found:
At first blush, this looks like 3 columns of the same three diagrams. But in fact this shows 15 individual nucleotides. Without getting a lot more up close and personal, it is impossible to tell the differences. The critical information for us is as difficult to discern. We need to keep examining that page.
