there's an entire set of proteins about I think I count to there's about 20 proteins involved in making that communication to drive mtor to the surface of the lome and and we could go into the details of this but it's it's probably a little bit uh too much but there's multiple large protein complexes that do that communication and and what I think that indicates and I've said this in talks you know it could have been simple right there could have been one protein binds an amino acid talks to EMP but it's not there's a lot of sort of protein real estate used to do this which tells you the cell cares about this so the question becomes which amino acids and and I have to say that that really that that was broken open not by us but by Joe avick he had a paper in JB JBC where he looked at amino acid regulation of mtor this was this is before the lomes he was looking at the activity of using S6 kyes and he basically found a couple amino acids that mattered he found Lucine you know a very common essential Branch chain amino acid an important component of of whey protein for example that people take Arginine a very basic amino acid technically not essential
