Arc-shaped PFO oligomers consisting of at least four subunits can insert into the membrane in a kinetically controlled process opening a transmembrane pore, whereby post-insertion growth may ultimately lead to formation of a complete ring.
Solution NMR spectroscopy reveals the energy landscape of immature Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase and leads to atomic resolution structural models of transiently populated non-native oligomers.
Structures of the human ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase alone and bound to the C-terminus of Nbs1 show the mechanisms underlying ATM autoinhibition and binding by a portion of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) activating complex.
