- Hello class! Today I will be teaching you about the wonders of the molecular world.
- Molecules are so small. They are practically invisible. We can't even see them. I had a goal to visualize them. At first I thought it was impossible.
- Many scientist want to know how a molecule works. I animate these visions. My work is very useful for scientists when researching molecules.
- The first is an immune cell. This cell crawls through our bodies to identify invaders. It is powered by actin, a protein, and is part of the cytoskeleton. Actin filaments can be built or taken apart and is a crucial part of our cells because it lets them move and change shape.
- Next is microtubules. Their role is for long-range transportation. They move things throughout the cell. Microtubules are peculiar because they can change size and move around and even disappear!
- Dynein is a motor protein that goes along microtubules and take cargoes and organelles with him.
- Acts just like a semitruck!
- The final thing we will learn about is the disassembling within a cell. Donut shaped proteins destroy the structures and pull the proteins through a hole. If the donut hole protein does not complete it's job, you can develop diseases.
