we describe the 1.9 Å resolution structure of E. coli FhuD in complex with gallichrome. FhuD adopts a novel fold and represents a new class of iron binding ABC-type transport proteins.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But it takes millions of pictures to understand the intricate chemistry of an ...

Proteolytic processing of the amyloid‐β precursor protein (APP) generates the Aβ amyloid peptide of Alzheimer's disease. The biological function of APP itself remains, however, unclear. In the current ...

The overall idea, says Hernando, is to reduce the weight compared to a metal structure and further advance the ability to use TPC for primary structures. These areconsidered more sustainable due to ...

Abstract: In the new genetic code chessboard representation, the 1st nucleotide of triplet codons is assigned to each of the four quadrants; the 2nd nucleotide to each of the 16 subquadrants; and the ...

First discovered in 2001, the protein PINK1 has been directly linked to Parkinson ... researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) have determined the structure of ...

Here the authors provide convincing biochemical and cryo electron microscopy structural information on the interactions within soybean primary cell wall CESA homotrimers. They present an important ...

Knowing the crystal structure of this "doorway" protein, says Fraser, is key to finding helpful drugs to stop coronavirus and influenza viruses, because it is very similar to other important ...
