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.
