    Mechanistic insights into G-protein coupling with an agonist-bound G-protein-coupled receptor

    G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activate heterotrimeric G proteins by promoting guanine nucleotide exchange. Here, we investigate the coupling of G proteins with GPCRs and describe the events that ultimate...

    Time-resolved cryo-EM of G-protein activation by a GPCR

    G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activate heterotrimeric G proteins by stimulating guanine nucleotide exchange in the Gα subunit1. To visualize this mechanism, we developed a time-resolved cryo-EM approach tha...

    Function and dynamics of the intrinsically disordered carboxyl terminus of β2 adrenergic receptor

    Advances in structural biology have provided important mechanistic insights into signaling by the transmembrane core of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs); however, much less is known about intrinsically diso...

    Defining the architecture of KPC-2 Carbapenemase: identifying allosteric networks to fight antibiotics resistance

    The rise of multi-drug resistance in bacterial pathogens is one of the grand challenges facing medical science. A major concern is the speed of development of β-lactamase-mediated resistance in Gram-negative spec...

    Singlet oxygen generation versus O–O homolysis in phenyl-substituted anthracene endoperoxides investigated by RASPT2, CASPT2, CC2, and TD-DFT methods

    The electronic excited states corresponding to singlet oxygen generation versus O–O splitting in o-fluorine-phenyl-9-anthracene-9,10-endoperoxide 1 and its 9,10-bisarylanthracene analog 2 have been investigated u...
