But what I really hope is that this advance combined with some more like it (which I hope will come soon ) would lead to a way of imaging protein molecules and directly image their exact structure and shape while they are dissolved in liquid water -something that currently cannot be done.
Even better would be if they can then image enzyme molecules in real time in cells so that they can see not only how the enzymes molecules work but what each one does.
If they can do all that, I am convinced this will massively speed up research in all aspects of human biochemistry indirectly leading to very rapid breakthroughs in virtually every area of medicine with new and effective cures for diseases that are currently fatal. Instead of having to wait, say, 80 years before we have effective cures for, say, all types of cancers, we will have effective cures rapidly developed within, say, just 2 years! This is what I think and hope.
