Protein structure solved from smallest crystals yet Date: February 17, 2017 Source: SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Summary: An international team of scientists used an X-ray laser to ...

The new crystal structure shows exactly how the individual dynamin proteins can line up to form a helix, and then move by ratcheting alongside each other. It also shows that part of the protein ...

The X-ray crystal structure visualization technique has been known for over a hundred years. It keeps improving, but it is extremely difficult to focus the rays on the objects that are invisible ...

Proteins need to be transformed into 3-D crystals before their atomic structures and their properties can be analyzed. And scientists in the U.K. have successfully used a porous medium, or ...

RIKEN’s Spring-8 complex in Japan. Naoki Kunishama and his team at RIKEN’s SPring-8 Center in Japan have found that a new technique to determine protein structures is better for structure-based drug ...

Sareum Holdings plc has announced the latest developments with its "Crystal Bank" resource of rapidly accessible protein structures first announced in September 2005. To date, Sareum has signed three ...

For decades, they have been essential for structural biologists to solve the three-dimensional structures of proteins, but protein crystals are also used as bio-pharmaceutical delivery agents.

Researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan engineered a fluorescent protein that rapidly assembles into large crystals inside living cells, and showed that cells actively targeted ...
