Here's one of my new Drawtumn sketches with some digital color - it's the li'l slime gal, Morgan Elle! I went a slightly unconventional route and based her on a cell, with ribosome freckles, endoplasmic reticulum locks of hair, a mitochondria heart, and a cell wall outfit!

I'm rather pleased with how the colors turned out. The effect makes me think of the translucent, squishy material those "sticky hand" toys are made of. XD

so in ap bio we did a cell organelle speed dating thing, where each of us was an organelle and we had to interview each other on our jobs (functions), hang-out places (prokaryotic/eukaryotic, animal/plant), fun facts, etc. so instead of reviewing the actual info that’s gonna be on our test, I learned that:

- the cell membrane is a workaholic while the chloroplast sunbathes all day, so they’re not exactly compatible

- the cell wall is very protective, which...<3

- but it also has a drinking problem, so :/

- the cytoskeleton can casually start disease when it has an off day

- the plasma membrane has DID

- the chloroplast and the mitochondria have a rivalry, but the rough ER and the ribosomes are best buddies

- the nucleus wants to form a threesome

- and the cilia has the most concerning pick-up lines

basically, the point was that I could totally write a fic about cell organelles, but that would take too much work

How proteins become embedded in a cell membrane

Many proteins with important biological functions are embedded in a biomembrane in the cells of humans and other living organisms. But how do they get in there in the first place? Researchers in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich have investigated the matter.

Many proteins with important biological functions are embedded in a biomembrane in the cells of humans and other living organisms. But how do they get in there in the first place? Researchers in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich have investigated the matter.

Nearly one-third of all proteins in living beings are firmly embedded in a biomembrane—either in a cell's outer membrane or in the boundaries of internal cellular compartments. There, these membrane proteins perform important tasks, serving, for instance, as molecular channels for transporting metabolites and nutrients through the membrane or as sensor proteins for sensing the cellular environment.

A team of researchers led by Daniel J. Müller, a professor in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich in Basel, has now investigated how membrane proteins manage to get into the membranes. To do this, they used a highly precise method that enables them to extract individual proteins from, or deposit them on, membranes. This method, known as single-molecule force spectroscopy, lets scientists guide a computer-controlled cantilever measuring just a few nanometers in thickness to a specific location on a membrane's surface with utmost precision. Molecular adhesive forces cause a protein located there to adhere to the cantilever.
