Plant roots can rapidly change the acidity of their cell walls and the root-soil interface to efficiently navigate in the soil environment.

The recurring application of computational modelling combined with wet lab experiments identify and predict central regulatory parameters and factors for early cell physiological reactions linked to differential brassinosteroid-modified elongation growth in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana.

The nuclear pathway for auxin perception is responsible for the rapid auxin-induced cell wall acidification and growth of aerial organs of plants.

The necessity of studying extremophile organisms is exemplified by the structure of photosystem I from a high-light tolerant cyanobacteria, demonstrating the relationship between the structure and function in photosystem I.

A facile method is implemented to modify membrane proteins with biophysical reporters using cysteine-independent approaches in live cells.

Heparan sulfate-RAGE interaction is essential for normal function of RAGE in osteoclastogenesis and drug-induced liver damage, which can be targeted to curb RAGE activation as a new opportunity.

Molecular analysis paints a detailed picture of the distinctiveness and complexities of peripheral somatosensory neurons.

Specific and non-specific conformational confinement, via point mutation or cochaperone interaction or macro-molecular crowding, stimulates protein function in Hsp90 by reducing non-productive conformational flexibility.

The aldehyde 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal is a novel component of the host antimicrobial reactive oxygen burst, and the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes encodes genes specifically for its detoxification.
