Authors Hillen HS, Lavdovskaia E, Nadler F, Hanitsch E, Linden A, Bohnsack KE, Urlaub H, Richter-Dennerlein R Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2021 Jun 16;12(1):3672. Abstract Ribosome biogenesis requires auxiliary factors to promote folding and assembly of ribosomal proteins and RNA. Particularly, maturation of the peptidyl transferase center (PTC)

Authors Sokpor G, Kerimoglu C, Nguyen H, Pham L, Rosenbusch J, Wagener R, Nguyen HP, Fischer A, Staiger JF, Tuoc T Journal Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience Citation Front. Mol. Neurosci., 16 June 2021, 14: 687581. Abstract Radial neuronal migration is a key neurodevelopmental event indispensable for proper cortical laminar organization.

Authors Raja SO, Chizhik AI, Schmidt CF, Enderlein J, Ghosh A Journal Nano Letters Citation Nano Lett. 2021, 21, 8244−8249 Abstract Graphene-induced energy transfer (GIET) was recently introduced for sub-nanometric axial localization of fluorescent molecules. GIET relies on near-field energy transfer from an optically excited fluorophore to a single sheet

Authors Ghosh S, Oleksiievets N, Enderlein J, Chizhik AI Journal Advanced Optical Materials Citation Adv. Optical Mater. 2021, 2100314. Abstract A fundamental but difficult to assess photophysical property of quantum emitters is their fluorescence quantum yield. It describes how efficiently a fluorophore converts absorbed light into fluorescence. Conventional measurements of

Authors Schilbach S, Aibara S, Dienemann Chr, Grabbe F, Cramer P Journal Cell Citation Cell. 2021 Jun 10:S0092-8674(21)00629-2. Abstract Transcription initiation requires assembly of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pre-initiation complex (PIC) and opening of promoter DNA. Here, we present the long-sought high-resolution structure of the yeast PIC and

Authors Steffens H, Mott AC, Li S, Wegner W, Švehla P, Kan VWY, Wolf F, Liebscher S, Willig KI Journal Science Advances Citation Sci. Adv. 2021; 7 : eabf2806. Abstract Excitatory synapses on dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons are considered a central memory locus. To foster both continuous adaption and

Authors Ghosh A, Chizhik AI, Karedla N, Enderlein J Journal Nature Protocols Citation Nat Protoc (2021). Abstract Super-resolution fluorescence imaging that surpasses the classical optical resolution limit is widely utilized for resolving the spatial organization of biological structures at molecular length scales. In one example, single-molecule localization microscopy, the lateral

Authors Martinez Hernandez A, Silbern I, Geffers I, Tatenhorst L, Becker S, Urlaub H, Zweckstetter M, Griesinger C, Eichele G Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience Citation Front Neurosci. 2021 Jun 17;15:643391. Abstract α-synuclein (αSyn) is the main protein component of Lewy bodies, intracellular inclusions found in the brain of Parkinson’s disease

Authors Rosado-Ramos R, Godinho-Pereira J, Marques D, Figueira I, Fleming Outeiro T, Menezes R, Nunes Dos Santos C Journal Molecules Citation Molecules. 2021 Jun 2;26(11):3353. Abstract Phenolic compounds are thought to be important to prevent neurodegenerative diseases (ND). Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder known for its typical motor

Authors Kloos M, Sharma A, Enderlein J, Diederichsen U Journal Journal of Peptide Science Citation J Pept Sci. 2021 Jun 2:e3355. Abstract β-Peptides are known to form 14-helices with high conformational rigidity, helical persistence length, and well-defined spacing and orientation regularity of amino acid side chains. Therefore, β-peptides are well
