Hi Im also an architect student from India and Im doing a project base on the glass sponge… Can you send me information about the structure of this sponge? It will really help me out! Thanks a lot…

Hi Kaustav -

I think this page has some of the best references regarding glass sponge.
Is it not altogether amazing that man can produce glass – in a blast furnace – and yet the lowly sponge can – in sophistication & detail – do so at much lower temperatures? I need to have a neo-darwinian explanation from someone out there.

Greetings. As a non-darwinian zoologist I find this glass structure fascinating. I have also been reading the Annual Review of Biochemistry (v 74) where Johnson & O’Donnell describe sliding clamps, clamp-loading machines and other multicomponent machines of the DNA molecule. Incredibly, thay state that these machines “have evolved clever strategies to perform their functions.”

Huh?

How can submicroscopic, protein-based machines fine-tune themselves?
Help me in my unbelief.
