When Daodan prototypes grow, they express [[wikipedia:Green_fluorescent_protein#GFP_derivatives|fluorescent proteins.] | When Daodan prototypes grow, they express [[wikipedia:Green_fluorescent_protein#GFP_derivatives|fluorescent proteins.]] | ||
These proteins are used to distinguish the Daodan biomass from the original cells and help measure cell metabolism, which is typically high when the Daodan grows or regenerates (ref. Daodan spikes). The proteins can glow under two conditions: either they are exposed to radiation, which Kerr did in the TCTF lab, or in the presence of high amounts of ATP. Hypospray substances trigger the release of ATP no matter wheather the Daodan is already healed. That way, hyposprays lead to overpower mode. | These proteins are used to distinguish the Daodan biomass from the original cells and help measure cell metabolism, which is typically high when the Daodan grows or regenerates (ref.

While the '''Daodan aura''' (a.k.a. chenille) simply indicates a very active metabolism, '''[[Daodan#Daodan_spike|Daodan spikes]]''' might come from the sudden ''implementation'' of a new adaptation within the whole Daodan biomass. | While the '''Daodan aura''' (a.k.a. chenille) simply indicates a very active metabolism, '''[[Daodan#Daodan_spike|Daodan spikes]]''' might come from the sudden ''implementation'' of a new adaptation within the whole Daodan biomass. | ||
