Scientists create a 3-D model of molecules in yeast linked to enzyme that lengthens chromosome tips

Through the haze of a sonogram screen, an expectant mother catches a glimpse of the growing baby within her. The outline of a nose, chin and head, instantly recognizable as a tiny human, brings to life what parents, until then, could only imagine. Biologists, too, aim to bring their scientific discoveries to life by creating three-dimensional models — at the atomic level — of the inner workings of cells.
