Oxygenic photosynthesis performed by cyanobacteria, various algae and higher plants are essential for survival of almost all life forms on the earth because it uses light energy to convert carbon ...
Certain archaeal cells possess external proteinaceous sheath, whose structure and organization are both unknown. By cellular cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), here we have determined sheath ...
The membrane that encases a biological cell is not simply a barrier; it is chock full of proteins involved in all sorts of critical biological functions. To really understand what membrane proteins ...
Spatial proteomics enables scientists to investigate protein organization at the subcellular, cellular, and tissue levels, including in pathological contexts. Using technologies that help researchers ...
Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial ...
Understanding the best ways to get a membrane protein to its destination in a cell is crucial, and the best method to make this happen is still unclear. Cell-free systems allow for interactions ...
After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta ...
In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...
After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structure of protein kinase C beta (PKCβ), a key protein linked to cancer and neurological diseases. The ...
On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...
