🤒 Why do we actually get a #fever? One reason is that immune cells move faster at higher temperatures. A team led by Stefan Wieser at the Institute of Zoology has now uncovered the molecular mechanism behind this process, with the motor protein myosin II taking center stage.

6. 7/8 🌐📚 Future prospects: there was so little biochemical data for our specific proteins, we had to rely on genome-wide data (PBMs). We could then estimate Kd for ANY sequence. That means, also for sequence variants.

Our earlier Framework Model v2 (FMv2) and FM-Life models link the clock right up, through plant metabolism, growth, development and physiology, to seed-to-seed adaptation in real weather.

Anyone who assembles these parts gets to predict how an Arabidopsis genome sequence variant will be adapted to climatic conditions. With a full causal chain. The mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation.👀 #GoForIt

Sure it’s simplified and there’s much to validate but it’s there. DNA-binding Kd is just where we started, there’s more known biochemistry to add.

Suggest a few good examples from mathematical and theoretical biology that can help to convince an uninitiated biologist that theory and mathematical models matter in Biology.

I need a few examples for a general talk to a broader audience of "experimental biologists."
