How a Key Protein Juggles Multiple Demands to Keep Neurons Firing

Sunday, May 24, 2020 - 09:50 in Biology & Nature

In a tour-de-force of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), UC San Francisco researchers have become to the first to solve the structure of a hard-working protein that helps reload neurons for repeated firing, enabling signals to be relayed along nerve pathways throughout the brain. More importantly, the scientists were able to use the structure of the protein, […]
