In the this talk, I will describe how various spatial dynamics on a micrometer scale - propagating waves, oscillations and non-Turing patterning – emerge from molecular properties of a simple two-protein system. I will discuss how non-equilibrium dynamics of this system allows bacteria to utilize “noise” – random forces from the DNA - to generate a useful work such as an active translocation of intracellular cargos, and how collective interactions within a such system lead to dynamic intracellular patterning
