Labeling proteins with ubiquitin paves new road to cell regulation research

Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 11:10 in Biology & Nature

Human cells have a sophisticated regulatory system at their disposal: labeling proteins with the small molecule ubiquitin. In a first, scientists have succeeded in marking proteins with ubiquitin in a targeted manner, in test tubes as well as in living cells. The procedure opens the door to exploring the inner workings of this vital regulatory system.
