It is all about the making and breaking of biological sulfate esters. They have been the subject of our research for many years. Putting a negatively charged sulfate group on small molecules, on larger proteins or on humongously large sugar chains changes the chemical properties of these molecules immensely. Hence, sulfation pathways have an impact on biological processes as diverse as detoxification of ingested substances, steroid signalling, protein interaction, bio-mineralization and ageing. Traditionally, there wasn’t a ‘sulfation community’, as the subject was dealt with as a marginal matter at more general biochemical meetings. However, a growing sulfation community has recently been forged. This article showcases the achievements to highlight sulfation pathways in Science–Art (SciArt) projects.","PeriodicalId":510527,"journal":{"name":"The Biochemist","volume":"81 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141817343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Okete","doi":"10.1042/bio_2024_132","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1042/bio_2024_132","url":null,"abstract":"The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for urgency, accuracy and specificity in the way science is communicated to different audiences. However, it also accentuated gaps in current approaches to making science suitable for public consumption. Inclusive science communication attempts to fill these gaps by promoting equity, breaking down barriers and leaving no one behind in the dissemination of scientific knowledge. The barriers to science communication addressed through inclusivity are numerous and diverse, spanning language and culture, educational status, poverty, age, access to technology and disability status. Since traditional science communication methods have failed to adequately address most of these barriers, this article proposes the infusion of art into these methods as key to making science communication more inclusive. It discusses the range of art forms, including drama, music, dance, painting and new media, that may be leveraged for more inclusive science communication and, alongside, addresses the challenges and opportunities to maximizing their potential.","PeriodicalId":510527,"journal":{"name":"The Biochemist","volume":"3 34","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141846794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
