2nd iCeMS Cafe: "See the Unseen - How molecules work in your body?"

See the Unseen - How molecules work in your body?

We are made of cells, and each cell is made of molecules.
Among the biological molecules, proteins are the most important.
But, how do protein molecules work?
How do they make the cells work?
How do they make the body work?
Protein molecules are, however, too small to see,
you can't see them working.

UNLESS you know a trick.
You mark the protein molecules with a little help of a microscope.

See the unseen, the tiny little protein molecules that make up your body.
