Proteinology # 5 - My mother, Bitcoin and seeds - not what you think!

A seed is not just a small hard thing you plant in the ground. It's a living organism in waiting — a biological vault that has been storing proteins.

In this episode, I explore the secret life of seeds and the proteins that make them up — the very same proteins you eat every day without knowing it, in your bread, tofu, or chickpeas.

— Storage proteins: how seeds produce and store them

— Dormancy: how a seed suspends all biological activity for centuries

— Germination: an ultra-precise cascade of chemical signals

— The transfer of life: how these proteins move from the seed to our plate and into our bodies

Difficulty level: 2/10 — accessible to all.

On Proteinology, I conduct interviews with researchers and produce these explainer videos in parallel — to make protein science accessible to as many people as possible.
