Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The ...

Fruit flies with genetic mutations that severely reduce sleep show enhanced performance in olfactory memory tasks, ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a new study. The paradox of enhanced memory despite sleep loss could be explained ...

Our group focuses on two assembly pathways: adaptor protein assembly during vesicle budding and SNARE complex assembly during vesicle fusion. We aim to use findings from these two model pathways to ...

We discovered that MdfA -- a protein we didn't know the function of previously, acts as an adaptor that recruits the proteins for recycling. "In the case of sporulation, this protein instructs the ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a study published March 20th in ...

The key structural features of tRNA include: The specificity of tRNA-amino acid interactions and the accuracy of codon-anticodon recognition ensure the faithful translation of the genetic code into ...
