When two kinases go for a dance

Protein phosphorylation is an important cellular regulatory mechanism which acts like a molecular switch in our cells. It is a process where a phosphate group, a small but very consequential chemical tag, is added to a protein. Think of it as turning a light switch... click to read more

An eye-opening molecular explosion

Many macroscopic processes that are part of our everyday lives have their origins in the tiniest motions: a molecule absorbs light, causing atoms to move by fractions of the distance between them, individual bonds to form or break. This determines whether a plant can transform... click to read more
