The archael small heat-shock protein (sHSP), MjHSP16.5, forms a 24-subunit oligomer with octahedral symmetry. Here, we demonstrate that the IXI motif present in the C-terminal domain is necessary for ...

Four stages of protein folding The folding of a protein is a complex process, involving four stages, that gives rise to various 3D protein structures essential for diverse functions in the human body.

Cholesterol is an important regulator of membrane protein function. However, the exact mechanisms involved in this process are still not fully understood. Here we study how the tertiary and quaternary ...
