“The way most people study these kinds of problems is to take mixtures of molecules in a test tube,
shake it and see what happens,”
“That is as far away from what happens in a cell as one can imagine.
Our thought was :
‘Can we try to study this problem in its biological context, which is this out-of-equilibrium, complex process?’”
Studying the problem from a physics perspective
allowed the researchers to take a step back from traditional biology methods.
