allowing the team to obtain a detailed 3D structure of the whole protein-DNA complex. Using specialized microscopes built in ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that ...

leveraged cryo-EM to solve the protein structure of the enzyme in complex ... XPR1 is essential for maintenance of cellular phosphate levels. Here authors present cryo-EM structures of XPR1 ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted ... at the single-molecule level, revealing that the fork protection occurs through dynamic protein–DNA interactions.

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...

Seeing a protein's structure is like looking at a jigsaw puzzle—you can find the missing piece by knowing its shape. Similarly, knowing a protein's shape helps scientists design molecules that ...

After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.

“Our structure ... cellular level in all living things, and cells that require a lot of energy can contain hundreds or thousands of mitochondria. The PARK6 gene encodes the PINK1 protein ...
