Virus as Nano Motors Part 1 of 3

Michael Rossman, professor of biological sciences at Purdue University, describes his research on how viruses work. His interest is in the mechanics of viruses--the individual components of viruses and how they work together. How do molecular motors work and how is the mechanical energy of the fuel, ADP, transformed into motion.

@wlodzio47 ..... there are many things you have misunderstood. I am NOT American nor would i be ashamed to be one if I were. But thats just racist for starters. Also, Phd does not stand for 'doctor' as you may have assumed by you last comment. Doctor is only one of the letters in the abbreviation. And if you think that computer advancement is the only thing the 'scientific community' is interested in then you are very misinformed.

@BushyBrows301 Hello Doctor. Whats new in scientific community ?

Jerking of in front of your comp?? get some more Ritalin like most of USA imbecile kids in your age.

@wlodzio47

So....your best comeback is to call me a child and assume I live at home still. Very intelligent. I bet you don't even know what Phd stands for without going onto Google lol. From reading the progress of this conversation it is you who appears to be childish, not me. You have not, at any point, constructed anything past a baseless insult or an attempt to make me seem dumb by default. All because you are the jealous one. You can't even spell high school properly.

@BushyBrows301 Phd.my ass kiddo. Finish your hi school first, don't embarrass yourself writing about "scientific community".I bet your mom still make your bed, I'm right?

[BushyBrows301]

@wlodzio47 oh yeah, real mature. Btw, its not a diploma you moron, its a Phd. Do you have respect for anyone? And you didn't even answer my completely reasonable question. You're must feel so smart that you can copy paste quotes from random people. At least you spelled 'ass' correctly i guess, so ill give you a 1/10 for ingenuity and a 2/10 for spelling. Fail less next time you try to insult me for getting somewhere in life and contributing to the scientific community.

@wlodzio47

Thats odd for you to say. I don't even know what that means lol. Please explain what you mean further. I am interested in your perspective on this issue as this is what I study at university. Biomedical Nanotechnology. We are encouraged to learn about what people think of the issues that appear in our science. Aftrall, nanotechnology is the most controversial area of science at this time, along with stem cells, which come under nano in some cases as they are on the nanoscale.

@BushyBrows301 Scientology and your school,- same to me.

You have a chicken perspective in your head. Learn some ancient history and create eagle perspective.
