“It turned out that these phosphate groups form certain patterns on the surface of cells and these patterns are not randomly situated, but have a certain logic, a multiphosphorylation code. Jokingly we call it a bar code, like the kind used in stores. Figuratively speaking, we have practically finished deciphering this code," said University of Tartu senior researcher of molecular biology Mart Loog."
