To me, this is incredibly beautiful and wonderous. Such clean, small liquids are holding a plethora of molecules I leveraged nature to create exactly as I want them. Picturing it in my mind then making them in these invisible liquids is just incredible to me. This is why I'm a molecular biologist.

PWO proteins are associated with PRC2 since their emergence in vascular plants https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.15.643013v1
