Enzymes in multistep metabolic pathways utilize an array of regulatory mechanisms to maintain a delicate homeostasis [K. Magnuson, S. Jackowski, C. O. Rock, J. E. Cronan, Jr, Microbiol. Rev. 57, ...

The membrane protein complex between the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) and phospholamban (PLN) controls Ca 2+ transport in cardiomyocytes, thereby modulating cardiac contractility.

In a milestone for protein engineering, researchers have designed from scratch a protein that exhibits allosteric regulation. With allostery, binding at one site of a protein affects binding or ...

The photosynthetic systems of green plants have developed a dual function of efficient light collection under low light intensity and photoprotection under intense sunshine to prevent the oxidative ...
