We all know that protein is something in our food, but what else do proteins do? For our final episode of our 3-part series on the Central Dogma, we discuss (one of) the final products of DNA and RNA: proteins! We cover everything from where proteins come from to some of their roles as molecular machines. Along the way, we touch on topics such as how eating protein helps you make muscles to "the protein fold that kills." Correction: X-ray crystallography shoots high-energy photons (x-rays), not electrons, at crystals to obtain their structure. Sam was probably too excited thinking about electron microscopy to catch his mistake.Links:Our Website: https://interactomemedia.wixsite.com/websiteTwitter: https://twitter.com/theinteractome Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/interactome_media/Mastodon: @interactome@universeodon.com
