Kinesin-1 is highly flexible and adopts an open conformation in the absence of cargo Kinesin-1 is an essential anterograde microtubule motor protein. The core kinesin motor is a homodimer of two heavy chains; N-terminal motor domains hydrolyse ATP and walk along microtubules, whilst a...

I'm a bit late with this, but awesome to see it out in the wild! A real tour de force from @dozenoaks.bsky.social @timcraggs.bsky.social An amazing example of why we need to think more about flexibility in our biological questions! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

The entrance lobby for the new Exciting Instruments facility - with cool 3D logos and reflections in the window an interesting way around!

Love the optics here - see the reflection!

We are welcoming a lot of people to @ei-science.bsky.social getting great data on their own biological systems for prelim data for grants.

It’s nice to have a greta space to welcome them to!

Is there an #smFRET experiment you’d like to try? Ping me here!

🤔 What if we could detect disease from a single molecule before symptoms even appear? This isn’t just innovation. It’s a shift in how we understand, detect, and prevent illness. Molecular insights are unlocking a new era in human health. #innovation #lifescience #biophysics

The antihero in my story “Crisis Actors” uses cylindrical mirror anamorphism as an “encryption” technique [he’s not very bright], but I’d never seen it done with 3D objects rather than just flat images until I stumbled on this article about the sculptor Jonty Hurwitz.
