This study uses HS-AFM to show yeast TOM complexes predominantly form trimers that dynamically dissociate into dimers and monomers, revealing structural and dynamic features of the TOM complex.

This study identifies and characterizes nucleoporins in Entamoeba histolytica, revealing both conserved and lineage-specific features of the nuclear pore complex.

CrypToth identifies cryptic sites on proteins using mixed-solvent molecular dynamics and topological data analysis, achieving high accuracy in hotspot prediction.

This study shows that Atg15 is a vacuolar phospholipase that disintegrates organelle membranes by degrading phospholipids in acidic environments.

The paper investigates the relationship between mRNA translation initiation rate and mitochondrial localization, finding that slow initiation correlates with mitochondrial localization.
