March 26, 2013/0/0/

Description (Healing Blade Lore) The fire-throwing Clindamycin is an intimidating Apothecary with the power to devastate a number of Pestilence armies, particularly those that thrive in low-oxygen environments. His help comes at a cost, however—he clears the way for the inherently resistant Clostridium difficile, which flourish in the aftermath of Clindamycin battles, disrupting the flow […]

Cell Command

January 30, 2013/0/0/

You start out clicking on codons to make amino acids, then you’re in a mitochondrion adding P to ADP, and pretty soon you’re helping the cell be selective about what it allows through its membranes. Neat learning tool for kids, and well produced: Cell-Command Demo
