Adaptation of domesticated maize and its wild relative teosinte has been facilitated by the geographically widespread exchange of beneficial alleles between them.
The well-studied Kv1.2 potassium ion channel is observed in a variety of states and conditions, to understand mechanisms of ion permeation, gating and block.
The light-modulated protein kinase CDK5 is important for phase shifts of the circadian clock, impacting phase delays through calcium influx and signaling pathways, crucial for adapting to jet lag.

Phase diagrams for 140 variants of prion-like low-complexity domains are computed to establish scaling laws that quantify the impact of amino acid mutations on the thermodynamic stability of condensates.
Oversized mammalian cells reduce their growth efficiency by activating global protein degradation, which functions in parallel with the cell size checkpoints, to promote cell size homeostasis.
