Authors Jain N, Gomkale R, Bernhard O, Rehling P, Cruz-Zaragoza LD Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2022.10.10.511594. Abstract Mitochondria play central roles in cellular energy production and metabolism. Most of the proteins that are required to carry out these functions are synthesized in the cytosol and imported into mitochondria. A growing

Abstract MINimal fluorescence photon FLUXes (MINFLUX) nanoscopy, providing photon-efficient fluorophore localizations, has brought about three-dimensional resolution at nanometer scales. However, by using an intrinsic on–off switching

Authors Bhatta A, Hillen HS Journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences Citation Trends Biochem Sci. 2022 Jun 18:S0968-0004(22)00139-6. Abstract Ribonuclease P (RNase P) enzymes are responsible for the 5′ processing of tRNA precursors. In addition to the well-characterised ribozyme-based RNase P enzymes, an evolutionarily distinct group of protein-only RNase Ps exists.
