This is the structure of the TMEM16 lipid scramblase in a membrane. The illustration on the left depicts the surface of the protein with a view on the crevice that allows the movement of lipids across ...
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 ...
Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers described a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-lipid nanoparticle mpox vaccine encoding four conserved mpox virus surface proteins ...
Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by André Nadler at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in China late December 2019 and quickly spread throughout the world to ultimately cause the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 ...
Aβ and tau get much of the glory in Alzheimer’s disease, but the disease is far more complex than two proteins. Scientists know, for example, that lipid metabolism goes awry, but identifying ...
