hehe, time for a trip to the library then. The amount of info I have been able to find on the internet is very little.
The general usage of enzymes in the lab seems to be quite straight forward, just keep the PH at the right levels, and the reactants at the right levels, and things just happen. So unless the enzymes in the pathway throw me a curve ball, and if SWIM can get seeds/leaves of a coca plant, or hell, maybe SWIM will be able to custom order the enzymes from some biochem place(prolly not, hella expensive) SWIM just might be able to get together a lean mean, coke making machine!
If you can get the levels of reactants right, one just might be able to turn a few grams of leaves into several kg's of pure coke. you will just have to wait a week or two, depending, of course, on the rate of reaction of the enzymes.
oh, and as an aside, I always though that it would be fun to try to make a krebs cycle in a bucket or something, perhaps complete w/ mitchondria, that could turn sugar directly into an electrical charge. hehe I can just see it now, "Hey, you need to put another pound of sugar in your gastank!"
He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
