Protein pray
Dear Lord, Make me a protein today To express myself in all settings. I wish for time to make me more resistant. I demand the stability In a simple watery situation. I yearn to be hard-working And fast reaching While selecting my companions For a perfect fit.
Night protein party
The illusion of organization Is fooling us On our benches, in our offices, In our freezer. The uncontrollable magic happens When the light is switched off and the drawer closed. Our proteins in their tubes Initiate the revolution Out of our sight, behind our back And subvert the order we imposed To samples supposed to… Continue Reading →

Protein hunt
What looks abundant Is sometimes useless In a way you cannot perceive. Proteins are there But they do not behave According to your plans Like stubborn donkeys. You make them, you treat them, You feed them Yet they rebel. Small molecules can tame them But the discovery is not immediate.
Surprise protein
The time spent planning and polishing details is nothing against the odds of scientific research. The controllable is mysterious and your plan is just a forecast of your protein’s behavior. Predicted and overanalysed still surprises you in the lab when the unexpected happens and adrenalin is needed to find the solution to a confusing situation.

My stomach is proudly full Of minerals and proteins That a silent plant produced in the sun. I hardly notice their machineries Humbly turning in the green spots Waiting for respect.
Lysozyme love
Few days are left To tell the story of the little protein That from an egg ended up in the pharmacy And into my throat. Small miracle of evolution, I admire you And love you For your stubbornness and generosity.

A thousand experiments… Continue Reading →

Heroes in the lab
Proteins come in families And ask you to choose your favorite, As families do. You value efficiency, you appreciate stability, But colour and shape can dictate their popularity Like little heroes in a fantasy novel That becomes reality.
The time when
The time a cake with the ingredients became a cake with two ingredients. The time the coffee break Moved unnoticed And included a whole lunch break. The time I knew my stuff Yet my protein decided not to follow The protocol in front of me. The time when results were so joyful And better than any… Continue Reading →
Next year
Powder sugar on the cake, The last working day has arrived. Fireworks in the lab Are mysterious proteins and high yields. They enlighten the way And reveal the happy corners in the winding sunny path that next year will be.
Microarray scanner
Staring at colourful images I spend my day In the visual investigation Of proteins’ behaviour. Colour intensities turn responses To biological meanings Under the powerful sight Of a lens.
Attraction
Shiny as polished Glassware waits for me And the colourful protein solutions Of today. Swimming and swirling In their soup Proteins arrange and interact Like people in crowded squares Showing uncontrollable attraction.
SDS PAGE
Today I will tell the story Of the protein lost in a gel. Although very light-hearted, She was forced to migrate down down down. When at rest, She started to feel blue And felt her run was over.
Unique
Here you are pretty protein Whose colourless nature Hides its unique activity. Water of unsuspected value Filled with thoughtful care and Fruit of a winding and windy treasure hunt. I found you when hope had left And so many people As a personal gift of nature.
