To do this without a brain or nervous system, says Ken Showalter, a chemist at West Virginia University, the organism relies on proteins and nutrients that «swish back and forth» through the cell to communicate the location of the food and allow the organism to change shape.

The resistance gene, however, by changing the shape of the ribosome, succeeds in blocking the drug — but at the cost of slowing down protein output.

Bressloff, along with mathematical biologist Berton Earnshaw, conceived of the dendritic spine — the mushroom shape at the downstream end of the neuron — as a two - compartment box: On the far downstream end, essentially in the synapse, scaffolding proteins suspend AMPA receptors so they can bind glutamate signals coming from the upstream neuron.

In February Jeremy Green and his team at King's College London identified a pair of proteins called morphogens that shape the ridges on a mouse's palate.
