Researchers mapped late steps in the formation of the human respirasome, a large protein assembly that drives mitochondrial ...

A new study in Nature Communications shows how one of the cell's most important energy-producing machines is built.

A team led by Prof. WANG Chao and Prof. HUANG Chengdong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the molecular mechanism of ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...

The viral genome attracts proteins along its length, forming an initially disordered RNA-protein complex. The genome pulls proteins together, raises their local concentration, and acts as a scaffold ...

A new study shows how one of the cell's most important energy-producing machines is built. Researchers at Karolinska ...

These proteins depend on their partner because they are rapidly degraded if they are not combined into complexes as soon as they are made. Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble ...
