Perhaps no cell type uses calcium in as many ways as does a cardiac myocyte. In addition to its well-known involvement in regulating cardiac contractility, recent studies have emphasized the ...

New insight into how the protein calmodulin interacts with an ion channel in the eye could explain how our eyes achieve remarkable sensitivity to dim light. Using cryo-electron microscopy and mass ...

Glycine, a non-essential amino acid derived from serine, plays an increasingly recognized role in metabolic regulation.

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry, researchers from PSI have deciphered the structure of an ion channel found in the eye while it interacts with the protein calmodulin – a structure ...
