  • Further, we identified a single pore-lining residue mutation that confers the same phenotype as substitution of the full EutM protein, indicating that small molecule diffusion through the shell is the cause of growth enhancement. (northwestern.edu)
  • This study highlights the use of two strategies to engineer microcompartments to control metabolite transport: altering the existing shell protein pore via mutation of the pore-lining residues, and generating chimeras using shell proteins with the desired pores. (northwestern.edu)
  • Lectures and computer-based exercises covering biotechnological methods and the structure and function of proteins. (uu.se)
  • The lectures will cover the current status of cell-based protein production systems and the theoretical aspects of the methodology. (lu.se)
  • Irimpan Mathews, a protein crystallography expert at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, joined the research effort to help the team better understand the binding mechanism between the Axl decoy and Gas6. (futurism.com)
  • The market is growing positively due to the rising utilization of protein drugs over non-protein ones. (globenewswire.com)
  • We found that the ethanolamine utilization (Eut) protein EutM properly incorporates into the 1,2-propanediol utilization (Pdu) microcompartment, altering native metabolite accumulation and the resulting growth on 1,2-propanediol as the sole carbon source. (northwestern.edu)
  • This alignment can show which amino acids are conserved between species and are important for the function of the protein. (wikipedia.org)
  • Protein structure, function and dynamics predictions through Machine Learning methodology are not an exception. (kdnuggets.com)
  • We're on a mission to map the entire global proteome to derive the most in-depth understanding of how proteins function. (basecamp-research.com)
