kontakteUR: transforming coordinates to chemical intuition to focus on essential interactions in biomolecular systems

kontakteUR transforms structural coordinates into a chemically informed contact space to analyze biomolecular interactions and their changes, enabling systematic comparison and functional insights.

4D structural biology: quantitative dynamics in the eukaryotic RNA exosome complex

The paper uses NMR and simulations to study dynamic motions in the eukaryotic RNA exosome complex, revealing conformational changes and a flexible plug region that blocks RNA pathways.

Structural insights into late-stage photosystem II assembly by Psb32

This study determines the structure of two late-stage PSII assembly intermediates, revealing how Psb32 and Psb27 regulate OEC maturation and Mn4O5Ca cluster preparation.

Complexome profiling of the Chlamydomonas psb28 mutant reveals THYLAKOID ENRICHED FRACTION 5 as an early photosystem II assembly factor

The Chlamydomonas psb28 mutant shows severe PSII assembly defects, and complexome profiling identifies TEF5 as a novel PSII assembly factor involved in CP47 assembly.
