I believe $NAUT is worth several billion today, because it's on a path to enable us to cure deadly diseases like Alzheimer's with a single prompt by 2027-2028. The breakthrough is not better protein measurement. It is reading the state machine of human biology. In Nautilus' tau paper, they found that phosphorylation is not random. pT181 makes pT217 about 8x more likely to appear on the same intact tau molecule. That matters because adding PO4 groups changes tau's charge distribution, which changes its conformation, which changes how tau binds microtubules. Microtubules are the rails neurons use to move mitochondria, vesicles and proteins over enormous distances. Tau helps stabilize those rails. Change tau's molecular configuration enough and: tau detaches → microtubules destabiliz
