This study defines the assembly pathway of CipB, showing that a 24-mer precursor forms and packs into a cubic lattice, with N-terminal flexibility enabling crystallization.

The paper elucidates the mechanism by which YheS releases SecM-arrested ribosomes using cryo-EM and molecular dynamics simulations.

This study uses cell-free protein crystallization to determine atomic structures of saccharides bound to galectin-10, revealing binding modes not accessible by conventional methods.

This study identifies the molecular mechanism behind the reduced solute permeability in Aqp10.2 by analyzing ancestral sequences, structural models, and site-directed mutagenesis.

This paper designs an artificial peroxidase using histidine residues inside a ferritin cage, showing peroxidase-mimetic activity through structural and simulation analyses.

This paper develops a cell-free protein crystallization method to determine the structure of an intrinsically disordered protein and identifies key residues stabilizing its helical conformation.
