Thanks - do you think the Prof earlier work on protein phosphorylation - might have led to the breakthrough in detection this week?
Light / wavelengths / bound to a protein - gives a signal (Not unlike modern astronomy looking at stars) - Not had a drop of vino - school night :)
Phosphorylation - phospherous - like tracer bullets - forgive me - I am not a scientist - but intrigued in this story.
Seems logical?
