I am not a god (an immortal), not, indeed, a mortal, not a demon, not a ghandarva, not a yaksa, not a variety of devil, Not, indeed, a man, not a woman, [and] also not a hermaphrodite; Superior, of a shining (illuminating) nature, Siva I am. -Adi Shankacharya (picture above)
Protein People
Sorry for the inconvenience, scroll down below the protein pics (colorful ribbon images) to get to the actual posts. An archive is on the right side. Even if you click on one, you have to scroll down from the top past the images to see the post ("Nothing is My Lover is the Last One").
Below are the Cellular Citizens, dwellers in Prokaryotic Villages, and Eukaryotic Metropolii. Worshippers of the Bible Genome, on it's many Chromosomal Bookshelves. Some really large and naive folks call them protein molecules.
I am such a nerd about things like this, and I spent so much time, making different images of proteins, which you see below. The dragon fly, fire ant, spider, petri dish, etc., that is at 10 million times, if an atom were about the size a grain of sand. The molecular biology pics almost at the same scale are DNA (duh!, or perhaps copulating snakes), myosin which is like a row boat involved in muscle contraction at the mol. level. A nucleosome, which is DNA wrapped around proteins (i.e. wriggling)
