Comparative biochemical analysis of a nematode-specific kinesin-3 shed light on the mechanism of kinesin-3 dimerization and activation.

A novel strategy to activate the WNT pathway in a cell type selective manner by linking designer ligands with target cell specific bridging receptors.

Characterization of the molecular mechanisms that enable azelaic acid, a secondary metabolite produced by photosynthetic organisms, to promote or inhibit different bacterial populations.

Combinations of inhibitors can more selectively inhibit individual or multiple protein kinases than single inhibitors.

Comparative measurements and simulations of microtubule plus and minus end growth with mixed nucleotides demonstrate that nucleotide acts across a tubulin:tubulin interface to influence microtubule stability and dynamics.

An in-depth binding profile analysis of BRAF domains related to RAF activation and autoinhibition unveils the distinctive roles of each domain in selecting preferred RAS isoforms and facilitating autoinhibition.

In vitro and in vivo studies uncovered a molecular link between elevated mitochondrial ceramide levels, coenzyme Q depletion, and insulin resistance.

Screening repurposed drugs identifies that a clinical stage inhibitor splicing related kinases unexpectedly activates YAP driven transcription in cells.

Why does protein kinase A respond to purine nucleosides in certain pathogens, but not to the cyclic nucleotides that activate this kinase in most other organisms?
