Identifying conformational changes with site-directed spin labeling reveals that the GTPase domain of HydF is a molecular switch [PDF]
, 2017 [FeFe]-hydrogenases catalyse the reduction of protons to hydrogen at a complex 2Fe[4Fe4S] center called H-cluster. The assembly of this active site is a multistep process involving three proteins, HydE, HydF and HydG.

Oncogene ect2 is related to regulators of small GTP-binding proteins [PDF]
Nature, 1993 We have developed an efficient expression cloning system that allows rapid isolation of complementary DNAs able to induce the transformed phenotype. We searched for molecules expressed in epithelial cells and possessing transforming potential to fibroblasts, and cloned a cDNA for the normal receptor of a growth factor secreted by NIH/3T3 cells. Here we

Vascular Growth in the Fetal Lung [PDF]
, 2011 The structure of the lung is truly remarkable. It is primarily composed of three branched tubular networks (the airway, pulmonary artery and vein, bronchial artery and vein) which supply blood and air to the site of gas exchange and which maintain ...
