Alternative technique for assessing binding kinetics in live cells
26 June, 2015Researchers have recently demonstrated the principle of real-time ligand binding to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the single most important family of drug targets, using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET).
The cause of neurodegenerative disorders takes shape
11 June, 2015How can one protein's aggregates be the cause of several neurodegenerative disorders? Neurobiologists have discovered that the shape of these aggregates - 'cylinders' or 'ribbons' - determines whether a patient develops Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy, respectively.
