The field of protein dynamics and allosteric regulation explores how proteins, far from being rigid entities, exhibit a wide range of motions that are integral to their function. These molecular ...
The membrane protein complex between the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) and phospholamban (PLN) controls Ca 2+ transport in cardiomyocytes, thereby modulating cardiac contractility.
Enzymes in multistep metabolic pathways utilize an array of regulatory mechanisms to maintain a delicate homeostasis [K. Magnuson, S. Jackowski, C. O. Rock, J. E. Cronan, Jr, Microbiol. Rev. 57, ...
Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, biosensing, DNA origami integrity reporting, and reusable mRNA detection through ...
Moving illustrating allosteric network (blue dots are essential residues for allosteric network) for regulation. The enzyme interconverts between the inactive and active structure.
The photosynthetic systems of green plants have developed a dual function of efficient light collection under low light intensity and photoprotection under intense sunshine to prevent the oxidative ...
