Ever wondered how plant roots bend towards gravity?

Turns out the cells get thicker cell walls on one side and thinner walls on the other, which causes the bending!

@RabhoRoot and colleagues investigate in their @ScienceAdvances paper:

What does climbing the #MartiniTower and enzyme catalysis have in common?

@BiophysK nailed it in her keynote at #Midlands #Biophysics Network @UoNresearch: not all enzymes work at the same speed, just like climbers!

#RNA #structure complexity is a challenge I love exploring, and its potential is immense.

In my invited #TheBiochemist (@BiochemSoc) feature, I share how #OrbiSIMS & #AI can help unlock RNA’s structural secrets at speed, scale & atomic precision.
