RE: What Biologists do all Day - Structural Biology AGAIN

in #steemstem7 years ago

Wow.. had never witnessed this. After so many years studying about proteins in biology, I had never witnessed the structure this clear. Salt with two atoms and proteins with four atoms, didn't know this too.
Does this mean this small protein crystal is responsible for the growth of body tissues?

Sort:  

No. The proteins were only crystallized for the sake of this experiment. They are not crystallized in their native form. What you see up there is highly artificial.
