Researchers Use X-Ray Crystallography and NMR Techniques to Directly Visualize Protein Structures

The study reports that for the first time, researchers used x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to directly visualize protein structures essential for catalysis at the rare high-energy state. The study also showed how the motions of these rare, or hidden, structures collectively, directly contribute to enzyme catalysis.

Researchers Take Initial Look at Ion Channels in a Model System

Before one of your muscles can twitch, before the thought telling it to flex can race down your nerve, a tiny floodgate of sorts-called an ion channel-must open in the surface of each cell in these organs to let in the chemical signals that spur the cell to action.
