In Bree's recent video "Skateboarding" she says its a symbol from the company her dad used to work for.
He studies ribozymes? What could all this mean?

Ribozymes are a form of ribonucleic acid ("RNA") that have the ability to selectively inhibit protein production. Because many disease states are the result of abnormal protein production, ribozymes are potentially applicable to a wide range of human diseases.

That's all I've gots...

Maybe it's just me, but when I saw this I instantly thought of this:

With the angle, it looks kinda similar.

Just looks like an infinity symbol to me. Wink

Googled infinity biotech company, found this:

http://www.ipi.com/

But the logo is wrong and they're in Cambridge, MA... but it gave me an idea and I finally found what I was looking for:

Kinda random, but that's just the LG creators style, right?

That company *is* in Mass...but....in April they aquired Discovery Partners International...based in San Diego. And...the San Diego area is a magnet for biotech businesses (or was).

@ Panda

I knew what you meant...and it was actually a pretty good observation.

It wouldn't surprise me if it turns out that this "company", when we find it, isn't an order-run enterprise. Actually, do we know what Oppy's broken-into base was fronted by?

And here I thought my AP Bio course that I junior year would have no practical applications...

Ribosomes are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Generally they go through a very complicated process [that I will not explain to you unless you want an early christmas pressie Wink

] that eventually encode proteins.

Ribosomes also play a very important part in the AIDS virus. What makes this virus so potent is the fact that its information (to make killer cells) is encoded BACKWARDS. From the ribosome to the DNA. Which means that it is harder to detect.

Which can bring us in a full circle to Bree's injections and her dad's work. Could the Order be creating super virus? Even more infectious than AIDS? Mayhaps Bree's injections were an antibody?

Ribosomes are indeed necessary for creation and building of protein molecules. The ribosomes "read" the DNA or RNA strands (or mRNA), and trigger metabolic processes to create different proteins (depending on data gained from reading, which depends on the RNA and mRNA or DNA strands located in the specific cells).

In reference to AIDS (as a teaching moment)...the reason AIDS is so difficult is that it is a retrovirus. That is, the AIDS is a smart virus that first sends in specific readers of intrinsic DNA, finds a portion of the DNA that matches it's endcodes, splices the DNA, and inserts its own DNA strand (to create more of the virus) into the intrinsic DNA. (Which is why Protease inhibitors are useful in decreasing expantion of the HIV to other cells. Protease is the chemical the HIV uses to cut the original DNA strand. Blocking this inhibits HIV from encoding itself into the DNA)

OK...off topic there for a moment...but virology is a blast. In reference to a DNA company...this could point us out to a potential use for BREE. If she has designer DNA (implanted into her by her father), they could be using her as a invitro petry dish in a way. She could be carrying a unique DNA product that the Order was hoping to utilze for whatever their purpose may be.

Just some thoughts.

I immediately thought of the infinity symbol, but I really don't think that's what this symbol is supposed to be. The infinity symbol always crosses very cleanly through the center, connecting back to itself and making a single curving line. This one connects more to the sides of itself and doesn't make a clean figure-8 shape. If it is really supposed to be an infinity sign, it is a very poorly drawn one, and I don't think the creators are that sloppy. My vote is that it's something else.

guys it is riboZYMES not riboSOMES

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribozymes

check it there. it is a RNA enzyme.
