Ion selectivity and rotor coupling of the Vibrio flagellar sodium-driven stator unit
Nature Communications, 2023 Bacteria swim using a flagellar motor that is powered by stator units. Vibrio spp. are highly motile bacteria responsible for various human diseases, the polar flagella of which are exclusively driven by sodium-dependent stator units (PomAB).

Uncovering protein structure [PDF]
Essays in Biochemistry, 2020 Abstract Structural biology is the study of the molecular arrangement and dynamics of biological macromolecules, particularly proteins. The resulting structures are then used to help explain how proteins function. This article gives the reader an insight into protein structure and the underlying chemistry and physics that is used to ...

Molecular basis for isoform-selective inhibition of presenilin-1 by MRK-560
Nature Communications, 2022 Presenilin isoforms (PS1 and PS2) containing γ-secretase show contrasting sensitivity to MRK-560. Here, the authors determined cryo-EM structures of PS1/PS2-complexes treated with MRK-560 and identified key residues responsible for the isoform-dependent ...
