The life cycle of a protein

A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.
BACKGROUND: The entrance of naive T cells into lymph nodes (LNs) is a crucial step for induction of heart transplant acceptance under costimulatory blockade. Specialized blood vessels within the LN ...
A 91-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with weight loss, dyspnea, and eosinophilia. An anteroposterior chest radiograph obtained 2 months earlier showed bibasilar patchy opacities. A ...
Membrane proteins are vital for cellular signaling, transport, and communication, making them attractive drug targets despite their challenging properties. Advances in mass spectrometry have enabled ...
Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...
Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...
Lipids provide the complex hydrophobic-hydrophilic solvent within which membrane proteins fold and function, and they act in a more specific manner in determining the folding, final membrane protein ...
