Bringing chemistry to life using real-life science stories

Julius Rebek: bringing chemistry to life

at the age of 88, was a pioneer in the depiction of the structures of biological macromolecules. He was caught up in the subject 36 years ago, when Scientific American asked him to illustrate John Kendrew's December 1961 article on the first protein structure, that of sperm whale myoglobin. This was followed by illustrations for David Phillips' November 1966 Scientific American article on the f...

Bringing Evo Devo to Life

T he essential path of adaptive evolution is that genetic variation among individuals is translated by the process of development into phenotypic variability, which is then screened by natural selection for any design changes that enhance survival and reproductive success. In Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Sean Carroll shows how the central black box of development that maps phenotypes onto geno...
