Let’s take a closer look at this protein structure... determined using AlphaFold2. This protein structure is part of a huge molecular structure in the human body. More than a thousand proteins form a pore through the membrane surrounding the cell nucleus. Animation: ©Terezia Kovalova/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences #NobelPrizeshow more

This is a bacterial flagellar motor … one of... nature’s most sophisticated molecular machines - a rotary motor embedded in the cell membrane consisting of ~25-30 protein types totaling 20,000-50,000 atoms in a multi-part structure of rotor, stator, drive shaft, and propeller. Operating at 100-300 Hz (6,000-18,000 RPM) with some species reaching 1,700 Hz (~100,000 RPM) at nearly 100% efficiency, this nanoscale engine features rotor proteins FliG/FliM/FliN forming the C-ring, MotA/MotB stator complexes, FlgG rod protein drive shaft, FliC flagellin propeller filament, and FlgE hook proteins acting as a universal joint, all powered by proton or sodium flow across the membrane generating torque through conformational changes in the stator complexes.show more

🌌🛣️ James Webb Found a Cosmic Highway. Using the... James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have observed a huge structure — a chain of around 20 galaxies stretching millions of light-years across the early universe. This structure is likely part of the cosmic web, where dark matter guides the formation of galaxies along filaments. The light from these galaxies has traveled for over 13 billion years, revealing how the universe began organizing itself into large-scale patterns. This discovery gives us a glimpse of the universe’s early “skeleton” — the framework that shaped everything we see today.show more

Here is “one more thing” from GPT-6 Astra that... completely blew my mind!🤯 Asked it to create the 3D structures of 2 proteins, green fluorescent protein (GFP) & interleukin-2 (IL-2), then design a fusion protein combining them, which doesn't occur naturally, using AlphaFold-OMG! It did it and I watched it make it on my computer in 9 minutes, my mouth open! I am just so excited about the possibilities of Astra for Biomedical research, and have many more really cool stuff building now! Only limited with my tokens at this time! Here is a short video showing the actual structure!show more
