Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that “no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts” in DNA - 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.

Happy birthday to Canadian medical researcher & #biochemist Maud Menten (1879-1960). Not only was she an author of Michaelis-Menten equation for #enzyme kinetics, she invented the azo-dye coupling for alkaline phosphatase, 1st example of enzyme #histochemistry, still used in imaging of tissues today & she also performed the first #electrophoretic separation of blood haemoglobin in 1944!⁠ 🧵1/n

Hello! #introductions
I'm a #ComputationalBiologist (1st #biochemist, then #ComputerScientist). I'm faculty at UConn Health. I'm interested in many scientific areas such as #SystemsBiology, #ComputationalModeling and #Simulation, #IronMetabolism, #NonlinearDynamics, #SoftwareDevelopment. I'm one of the authors of the @copasi simulation software and its predecessor Gepasi (thus my handle). I care about #OpenAccess & #OpenSource. I am also interested in #photography, #Linux, and #EVs.

#Insights into #gene & #protein #ControlSystems that regulate the use of #nitrogen by #plant #roots could help develop crops that require less nitrogenous fertilizers to produce acceptable yields. Plant #biochemist Soichi Kojima and colleagues at #TohokuUniversity discuss their findings and future plans in an article in the journal #Frontiers in #PlantScience.

sciencedaily.com/releases/2023

ScienceDailyRooting out how plants control nitrogen useNitrogen is such a crucial nutrient for plants that vast quantities of nitrogen-containing fertilizers are spread on farmlands worldwide. However, excess nitrogen in the soil and in drainage run-off into lakes and rivers causes serious ecological imbalances. A recent study has uncovered the regulatory mechanisms at work when plants utilize nitrogenous fertilizers in their roots, a positive step in the quest to generate crops that require less fertilizer while still producing the yields needed to feed the world.
