This paper presents the cryo-EM structure of the Gloeobacter violaceus phycobilisome, revealing its unique bundle-shaped architecture and regulation by orange carotenoid proteins.

The paper discovers a flavin-based fluorescent protein, LSSFbFP, with a large Stokes shift, achieved through excited state proton transfer, and validates its mechanism using spectroscopy and crystallography.

This study shows that class A GPCRs use the membrane potential to enhance their sensitivity and selectivity by coupling sodium ion translocation to receptor activation.

The paper compares active sites in P-loop NTPases and uses MD simulations to suggest a common ancestral activation mechanism involving gamma-phosphate rotation.
