I‘m looking for a book📚 to gift a young neurologist🩺 who recently started her career. Something warm, funny, or gripping… maybe touching on the early challenges of the job. If you have a favorite, I’d love to hear it!🩷

I just stumbled upon this incredibly artistic creature – the blue sea dragon – and couldn’t resist sharing its beauty with you. But don’t be fooled by its pretty looks – this #mollusc can deliver a painful sting! www.geo.de/natur/tierwe...

Seltene Sichtung: Was steckt hinter dem mysteriösen "Blauen Drachen"?

Vor Mallorcas Küste hat eine Meeresbiologin den seltenen "Blauen Drachen" gesichtet. Was die Meeresschnecke so besonders macht und warum sie für Menschen ...

A special week: 🎉Honored to receive the Waltrude & Friedrich Liebau Prize de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebau-Preis for promoting interdisciplinary crystallography with my ‘Protein Art’. I never dreamed my art would find its way into the hearts of distinguished scientists.

Great video by @veritasium.bsky.social on solving the 3D structure of proteins and how AI is revolutionizing the field! youtube.com/watch?v=P_fH...

Carnivalistic Protein Art Protein: Histone chaperone RbAp46 (www.rcsb.org/structure/3cfs) Drawing: Cologne Fools’ Guild This protein helps to organize #histones, the spools around which DNA is wrapped, and regulates genes involved in cell growth and transition. #Carnival #Cologne #ProteinArt

Protein: #ErbB4 (www.rcsb.org/structure/2ahx) Drawing: “A Crab at Rest” The receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB4 is like a multi-module signal hub, consisting of a receptor and an enzyme. The receptor part receives signals, while the enzyme part sparks action inside the cell.

BACE1 in Alzheimer’s Disease Drawing: “Worn out sack of memories” Protein: #BACE1 (www.rcsb.org/structure/1SGZ) #Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to carry out simple tasks.

The Insulin Fly Protein: Insulin, www.rcsb.org/structure/3ir0 #Insulin is one of the best-known hormones that plays a key role in managing our metabolism. In its active form, a single insulin molecule (half of the "fly") helps to lower blood sugar levels by triggering cells to take up glucose.

What is a #protein? For the general public, proteins are just nutrients, like fats, carbohydrates, or other delicious foods. They are often associated with nothing more than eggs or muscle-building shakes.

Welcome to my blog, where science meets art! Here, I share my creations inspired by the incredible world of proteins. Proteins are the building blocks of life, essential for every living organism — no cell could function or even exist without them.

Unfortunately or fortunately, my twitter/X account has been suspended for an unknown reason. Therefore, I'm restarting my Protein Art project on Bluesky. I will also use this account to follow researchers and to post about arts and science. #Art&Science #ProteinArt #Art #Science
