Freiburg researchers discovered how a molecular barrel structure serves various functions in the mitochondria

FREIBURG, 11-Oct-2016 — /EuropaWire/ — Freiburg researchers have discovered that the molecular barrel protein Mdm10 can carry out various functions for the development and maintenance of mitochondrial structure by binding to protein machines. Mitochondria are the cell’s powerhouses, for instance producing … Read the full press release

University of Freiburg demonstrated how molecular chaperones collaborate to create barrels for protein folding

University of Freiburg researchers demonstrate how so-called chaperones collaborate to create barrels for protein folding FREIBURG, 15-5-2015 — /EuropaWire/ — Chaperones are molecular helpers that assist otherproteins with folding. One such chaperone is the so-called heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60). This protein … Read the full press release
