Visualizing cellular proteostasis

Medical Research Council (Cambridge)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Each cell relies on thousands of internal biochemical reactions, carried out by around ten thousand different types of proteins. These cellular proteins, collectively known as the proteome, must be synthesized in precise quantities, undergo correct folding, and be accurately localized within the cell. Read more
