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 Tubulin and I make up Microtubules which are in essence, pipes that run to and fro, from here to there, around the Cell, in all of every one of our cells, and our cats, dogs, and spiders in the corner. In every one of these cells are the rafters that allow Motor Porteins to carry materials around the cells in huge bags called Vesicles. Here in this picture is two of the units that make up a microtubule. Above is a cartoon of a mictotubule and what it does inside a Cell.
