Extracting DNA from strawberries and eating it
This video is a bit different and more on the biochemistry side. During my Biochemistry degree, this was one prep that always amazed me.
I'll be extracting DNA from strawberries and then giving it a taste to see what it's like. Because I plan to eat it, I only use chemicals that are "food safe".
On a side note, it feels like I have been neglecting synthesis, so the next few videos are going to just synth projects only!

I forgot to mention in the video why the DNA precipitates. The DNA is not soluble in isopropanol, but it is soluble in water. The isopropanol is miscible with water, so as more is added, the solubility of DNA decreases. If enough is added, the DNA will fall out of solution.
Thank you, there is something in general (not related to this video that I dont get if you may explain), for example in the making of fuming nitric acid video you said that at 83 degrees some nitric acid decomposes, I'm just wondering, why only some of it decomposes if decomposition has a specific temperature? and if the boiling temperature and decomposition temperature are equal... what happens? this really confuses me.
Could you try recreating the Miller-Urey experiment?
I'll take a guess and suggest that it has to do with the presence of dinitrogen tetroxide and water. I suspect that these stabilize the nitric acid, and the temperature change upsets the balance. When enough nitric acid decomposes, then equilibrium is reached again.
Loved the look on your face as you tasted it!
Actually the ISO causes the DNA to cross-link due to its H20 sheath being removed. It has nothing to do with solubility. You can remove DNA from water without it precipitating. Only if you specifically strip it of its tight water coat it will it fall out of solution.

I love watching nilered's videos and dream about doing something similar in the future as a job. This is the first one that's simple enough that I can actually do it now and on my own. I'm sooo excited to try it out and maybe even ask my science teacher to do it in class if it goes well. It's not the most impressive procedure but it's a start!
We're doing this experiment tomorrow in class. Hope it all goes well and I hope your experiment went well too if you've tried it yet!

I remember doing this at a science event as a little kid, I always brought the DNA to school for show and tell. It’s nice to hear the process explained with more detail than when I was 7

*buys sulfuric acid in bulk* "I couldn't find any soap that isn't scented"
it basically doesn't change anything, so why bother?
The sulfuric acid he buys easily is NOT pure tho. It's all adulterated for better use as a drain cleaner. NOTHING Is pure if it's supposed to be something that you end up smelling, or smelling like.
dude can easily make his own. Probably less toxic too but what do I know
But he did find a strawberry scented one, which is probably rarer. I think he's just addicted to strawberry and this whole video is just a bunch of excuses to develop a strawberry IV infusion.
Real easy to get sulphuric acid. Go to a bike shop and buy some for your battery: m/c batteries are shipped "dry." Or just go to an auto junkyard and siphon it from a battery. (Boil off the water, and NOT food grade due to lead contamination.)
You deconstructed them on a cellular level, reduced them to nothing but goo and devoured their essence; brutal.

Plot Twist: he takes a DNA test and he's 20% strawberry.
