Protein Landscapes

Proteins are the building blocks of life. How they interact determines the performance of our whole organism. Through signaling, complex cascades of regulatory mechanisms and physical interactions those protein building blocks shape an organism as a whole, creating a homeostatic state, an equilibrium between entities to maintain what we refer to as a healthy organic system. If out of balance or malfunctioning in any step of the process, a disease can emerge.
