Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Unlike spiders and scorpions, sea spiders didn’t go through ancient genome duplications, making them a rare window into how ...

ConspectusThe extracellular matrix of a tissue is as important to life as the cells within it. Its detailed molecular structure defines the environment of a tissue’s cells and thus their properties, ...

Like the spliceosome, the ribosome undergoes conformational changes to perform chemical catalysis. Such conformational dynamics can often be an impediment to understanding structure and function.

The structure showed 12 transmembrane helices in two pseudo-symmetric bundles and two periplasmic subdomains. Experiments showed that the coiled-coil domain, whose predicted model extends from one of ...
