RE: A New Method To Study Nucleosomes: An Important Component In Gene Regulation And Our Chromosomes

in #steemstem7 years ago

I am a physicist, but if i were to do any other subject it would be biology. And it would be definitely experimental. I just love it how people devise methods to eliminate the possibilities to end up at real cause.
"If it were legal, I'd marry a nucleosome".... It took me some time to read the whole thing and then i discovered that i was second by 6 minutes.

I wish there were more physicists studying DNA dynamics. The processes are just so complex that I think a physicist would have an easy time transitioning, and potentially a unique perspective that could lead to some truly groundbreaking information.

Its truly a fascinating field, which is only further solidified by just how mindbogglingly complex cellular processes are. The more I read/learn/find out through my own work, the more I marvel at how we even exist at all!

The problem is, to study things like protein folding, one needs a very diverse skill set. It requires one to know physics, chemistry simulation and biology to understand and do something fruitful.

It depends on what questions you are trying to address. :D In this case it isn't a folding question, but rather how the complex comes together and falls apart during biological processes (like replication).

it would be very helpful commend.
Thanks.
