A generalizable approach to understanding the logic of molecular recognition reveals the contributions of individual residues to the specificity of protein-protein interactions.
A mathematical model of glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus to investigate how the fidelity of synthesising a complex glycan distribution at the plasma membrane depends on parameters such as the number of Golgi cisternae or enzyme specificity.

A cryptic pocket in the myosin motor domain selectively opens in molecular dynamics simulations, and the probability of pocket opening is predictive of how potently a compound will inhibit a particular myosin motor.

Substrate and effector bound structures of a bacterial ribonucleotide reductase reveal the molecular basis by which substrate preference is modulated by a distal site on the enzyme.
Quantitative analyses of yeast P bodies reveals a small number of highly concentrated proteins and many weakly concentrated proteins, suggesting that the compartments are compositionally simpler than previously thought.

Posttranslational protein palmitoylation and palmitoyl acyltransferase-substrate specificity emerge as a novel mechanism specifying the functional identity of neuronal substrates during the development of the central nervous system.
Oct1 replaces Oct4 at critical targets shortly after ESC differentiation to promote expression of lineage-specific genes and repress lineage-inappropriate genes.
