Beginning Paragraph "In the halls of academe, a physicist and a biochemist combine their expertise and discover innovative tools for cutting-edge research. The biochemist shows the physicist ways to attach tiny micron spheres to strands of DNA, allowing the physicist to use optical tweezers to become the first person to study the physical properties of individual polymer strands. The physicist's students show the biochemist's students how to build and operate atomic tweezers, which they use to study protein motors that move things around within cells. Such collaboration is the impetus behind Stanford University's Bio-X initiative." |
