A research team has solved the crystal structure for an enzyme that plays a key role in DNA methylation, the process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. The breakthrough reveals how ...
The structure of a large nucleic acid complex formed by the 10–23 DNA enzyme bound to an RNA substrate was determined by X–ray diffraction at 3.0 Å resolution. The 82–nucleotide complex contains two ...
Researchers have deciphered the long-sought atomic structure of PRC2, an enzyme complex that plays a key role in the development of several types of cancer, in particular blood cancer. Researchers at ...
A new method has enabled the natural structure of particularly large and complex enzymes to be revealed. Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and TU Berlin have published ...
A study in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, led by researchers at The Wistar Institute, depicts the structure and the means of action of a protein complex called NatA. Their findings, they ...
EmrE is a prototype of the Small Multidrug Resistance family of efflux transporters and actively expels positively charged hydrophobic drugs across the inner membrane of Escherichia coli. Here, we ...
The γ-secretase enzyme can cleave more than 150 membrane proteins. These include the amyloid precursor protein, which produces deposits linked to Alzheimer’s disease, and the Notch1 protein, which is ...
