Direct estimation of the Hurst exponent shows that endosomes and lysosomes reside in regimes of persistent and anti-persistent motion with heavy-tailed residence time distributions and motion correlated with endocytic function.
Structural and biophysical studies help to follow the disassembly of the HIV-1 capsid in vitro, and reveal the role of a small molecule called IP6 in regulating capsid stability.
Human cells that lack a subunit in their origin recognition complex are viable, which suggests the existence of alternative mechanisms to initiate DNA replication.
