Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Research from the Kirchdoerfer Lab identifies that multiple coronaviruses share protein features in critical viral machinery, suggesting the possibility of antivirals that treat multiple coronaviruses.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
A new, comprehensive study of the evolution of one regulatory protein reveals that how proteins evolve to gain and lose functions over time differs among classes of proteins.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Researchers in the Weeks Lab developed a new toolbox for scientists studying protein cleavage sites associated with cell death and other critical cellular processes.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
New tools developed in the Coyle Lab offer scientists an innovative way to program how molecules are organized within a cell and to explore dynamics of cellular function by harnessing patterns of movement produced by bacterial proteins.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
The timing of flowering can be essential to agricultural practices. Researchers in the Amasino Lab identified a gene that helps to regulate the biochemical pathway leading to flowering in grasses – a distinct, agriculturally important family of plants.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Decoding properties hidden within a protein’s 3D structure can be tricky. Scientists in the Sussman Lab identified a molecule that could unlock secrets held within proteins’ folds.
