Mathematics, Physics and Biologists

It is not surprising to know that Biologists and mathematics/physicists often argue when describing biology.

Here I shall just put in a few comments make by the more mathematically trained people on biology systems.

1) "To a mathematician, a Jellyfish is essentially a bag"

2) Today in class, the biology asked us what do we feel about the fact that actin structure is actually more elongated rather than spherical.

And a student commented that "oh.. i dunno, all protein structures look like potatoes to me."
Indeed, there are many ways to look like a potato but only one way to look like a sphere. =P

To prove this student right, the other structure that we see later is tubulin, which indeed just look like another potato. ( I guess the love for potatoes has something to do with the proteins in our body.)

Indeed how nice will life be, if all biomolecules are shaped either like spheres, cube or long cylinders. Then math becomes easy and we can all sit and drink tea. =P

Okie, i know this is crappy, i think of something better to write next time. =)
