Part is due to differences in scale: small things fast, big things slow. As you point out, since cells are fairly small, relative speed is very different. Here’s a question I’ve asked of physiological friends: voluntarily move you arm from straight to flexed. Takes perhaps half a second. Movement might be 1 foot. How many actino-mycin couplings and decouplings have occured? What is the rate?John Kubiehttp://coronaradiata.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264947694886887540.post-713543868540011822017-11-06T23:39:14.789-08:002017-11-06T23:39:14.789-08:00this post was discussed on 6-Nov-2017 at https://...this post was discussed on 6-Nov-2017 at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15635000Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264947694886887540.post-24098349356408919412013-09-27T09:48:16.543-07:002013-09-27T09:48:16.543-07:00Excellent write up.
