Astounding: The Role of Motor Proteins in Cell Division
A crucial aspect of mitosis is the movement of chromosomes — initially the alignment of as paired sister chromatids during prometaphase and metaphase.
What if Our Muscles Were Less Powerful?
As every medical student comes to learn when first dissecting the human body at medical school, our limbs are almost entirely composed of muscles.
Viruses: An Intelligent Design Perspective
Certainly, in a context of global anxiety, this is a subject that needs to be approached with sensitivity and humility.
Molecular Motor Threads a Spiral Staircase
Get acquainted with another irreducibly complex molecular motor. This one is a master at unfolding proteins. Its method is ingenious.
Orderly Disorder: A Molecular Motor Regulated by IDP
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are common in cells. Can a disordered protein regulate a molecular motor?
