      An incredible story! Somewhere in [LINK] or this video the narrator casually says "... and this is why we breathe oxygen ..."

    2. @navanJan 2021· in “Time-lapse of a single cell transforming into a salamander (2019)”

      This reminded me of a beautiful animation of "Mitochondria: the cell's powerhouse" which I recently watched. this video

    3. @candiodariMay 2022· in “Enzyme Electric Fields”

      You want molecular dynamics. They are simulations, not real images. But otoh (visible) light rays are "about as big" as a very large protein, so you can't image them. And because of computational expense they're slow motion by necessity, which is good because very, very complex enzyme interactions means ~2-3000 interactions per second. Example: this video
