By studying the structure and function of a cyanobacterial protein, … parts. A lot of these moving parts are proteins — amino acid structures that harvest light, transport molecules and … of that machine — photosynthesizers’ DNA and RNA. These sequences provide a list of machine parts, and an idea of …

… complexity At first glance, the slightly murky waters in the tube look like a scoop of stormwater, complete with leaves, debris, and even lighter threads in the mix. But in the Petri dish, the thin vermicelli-like … the bacterial cells on the molecular level. They amplified, sequenced and assembled the genomes. In parallel, Gros’ lab …
