Pagliarini lab: An ancient kinase required for mitochondrial CoQ biosynthesis
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles whose functions are essential for nearly all human cells. Numerous human diseases, ranging from rare inborn errors in metabolism to common cancers, have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. However, our ability …
Single Molecule Spectroscopy in the Hoskins Lab
Cellular machines like the ribosome, spliceosome, or replisome contain multiple components that transiently associate with one another. This compositional and dynamic complexity presents a challenge for understanding how these machines are constructed and function. Colocalization …
