More than just a ticket canceller: the mitochondrial processing peptidase tailors complex precursor proteins at internal cleavage sites.

abstract：:In this essay I describe my personal journey from reductionist to systems cell biology and describe how this in turn led to a 3-year sea voyage to explore complex ocean communities. In describing this journey, I hope to convey some important principles that I gleaned along the way. I realized that cellular functions e...
