Abstract Chaperonins are large barrel-shaped complexes that mediate ATP-dependent protein folding1-3. The bacterial chaperonin GroEL forms juxtaposed rings that bind unfolded protein

Authors Gligonov I, Enderlein J Journal Biophysical Journal Citation Biophys J. 2024 Aug 19:S0006-3495(24)00557-5. Abstract Zernike polynomials are a sequence of orthogonal polynomials that play a crucial role in optics and, in particular, modeling microscopy systems. Introduced by Frits Zernike in 1934, they are particularly useful in expressing wavefront aberrations

Authors Zapp SJ, Khani MH, Schreyer HM, Sridhar S, Ramakrishna V, Krueppel S, Mietsch M, Protti DA, Karamanlis D, Gollisch T Journal eLife Citation eLife13:RP99945. Abstract A standard circuit motif in sensory systems is the pooling of sensory information from an upstream neuronal layer. A downstream neuron thereby collects signals

Authors Haertter D, Hauke L, Driehorst T, Nishi K, Zimmermann WH, Schmidt CF Journal eLife Citation eLife 13:RP97321. Abstract Cardiac muscle function emerges from the coordinated contraction of sarcomeres in cardiomyocytes. Sarcomere dynamics are usually inferred from whole-cell or myofibril observations, assuming synchronized, uniform behavior. Here, we investigated how different

Authors Fu Y, Simeth NA, Szymanski W, Feringa BL Journal Nature Reviews Chemistry Citation Nat Rev Chem. 2024 Aug 7. Abstract Photoclick reactions combine the advantages offered by light-driven processes, that is, non-invasive and high spatiotemporal control, with classical click chemistry and have found applications ranging from surface functionalization, polymer

Authors Amaral L, Mendes F, Côrte-Real M, Rego A, Outeiro TF, Chaves SR Journal Chemosphere Citation Chemosphere. 2024 Aug 6:143039. Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the presence of Lewy bodies, which predominantly consist of aggregated forms of the protein

Authors Kim R, Nagel SH, Liaw NY, Zimmermann WH, Zelarayan LC, Schoger E Journal Stem Cell Research Citation Stem Cell Research (2024). Abstract The fluorescence ubiquitination cell cycle inhibitor (FUCCI) has been introduced to monitor cell cycle activity in living cells, including human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) and derived
