How can a cell know the time? Let's explore the beautiful 24-hour cycle produced by #KaiC proteins in the cyanobacteria S. Elongatus. Rendered in #blender3d with @bradyajohnston.bsky.social's brilliant Molecular Nodes add-on. #biology

Our live-stream Q&A with #PhantomPlague author Vidya Krishnan is TOMORROW at 11am ET/8am PT! Tune in at youtube.com/live/6JI... to hear your questions answered! #TBReaders

I have never wanted anything more than a @hankgreen.bsky.social produced book about all the problems life had to solve in order to survive on land. Such an incredible way to explore evolution, cell biology and biochemistry.

The molecular biology of how Mycobacterium Tuberculosis evades the immune system so well.

Starting with this simulation of a full outer envelope of m.TB--let's explore how the deadliest & most persistent human pathogen completely hacks our immune response. #molecularbiology

Forgive me--Tuberculosis is now my entire personality.
If it ain't Myco, it don't matter.

Rendered in Blender using @bradyajohnston.bsky.social 's Molecular Nodes add on.

My favorite place on the internet is in GREAT new hands. @jiwasa.bsky.social has CRUSHED her first two articles running the @rcsbpdb.bsky.social PDB-101 molecule of the month.

February brings us a very in-depth and timely write-up on H5 Hemagglutinin:
pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/302

Finally rendering my next episode about the central dogma in eukaryotes. #molecularbiology

Here's a loop showing the moment RNA Polymerase II activates. DNA (white) gets spooled into the RNA POL II active site.

Simulated using the INCREDIBLE structures from the Xu Lab at Fudan University. 8WAK

2 MONTHS UNTIL P4A! #P4A2025

I will always drop EVERYTHING for a Science IRL post! You should too! #biochem

#molecularnodes GOAT got on pdb 101! Incredible year for incredible #molecularbiology

So excited to read this!

Wait--what's the monster lurking in the heart of photosynthesis?

Let's dive REAL DEEP and explore why leaves drop in the fall:
