The results provide a new model of behavior for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, a well studied protein involved in inflammation, Alzheimer's disease,…
Metcalf set out to understand how this compound, one of a group known as phosphonates, is made in nature by bacteria. He was interested in that process partly…
Uch37 is a “deubiquitinating enzyme” that can remove protein tags (called ubiquitin) from other proteins. The presence of one kind of ubiquitin tag on a…
The new technique also could help to speed the development of therapies in which cancer-fighting proteins are selectively delivered to tumors.The procedure,…
The results are published online this week and appear in the October issue of Nature Neuroscience. The protein beta-catenin acts like a Velcro strap, fastening…
The gene may prove to be useful for breeding high-yield rice and, thus, may benefit the vast number of people who rely on this staple food for survival. “Our…
A novel Brandeis University study this week in PLoS Biology reports on some of the molecular gymnastics performed by a protein involved in regulating DNA…
