Have you ever had a chance to look inside a cell down a powerful microscope? You will be amazed at what you find - each and every one of our cells is alive, with the molecules inside the cell moving about in an elaborate dance. Every molecule is continually moving as they go about their own specialised tasks.

Every day, your cells have to move many molecules from one site to another. Have you wondered how they do this?

Your cells use the help of two versatile motor proteins, called kinesin and dynein. These motor proteins "walk" along a molecular catwalk, which is made of proteins called "microtubules". Using this catwalk, the motor proteins can carry loads several times their size from one site to another.

BioBytes In our talks we examine trends in technology, how they affect the way we live and do business, and the problems they solve. We discuss methodologies pertaining to the Computational Biology domain.On special occasions, we will invite industry veterans to come and talk about the problems they are work...
