New Methods for modelling cofactor-dependent enzyme structure and function

The University of Manchester Department of Chemistry

Enzymes are Nature’s catalysts and many used cofactors and/or coenzymes to catalyse their reactions. While AI and homology methods now often allow the useful prediction of protein structure from amino acid sequence, this can be more challenging when the protein/enzyme contain cofactors. Read more

Exosome biogenesis and organelle trafficking in neurodegeneration.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Scientific summary. Intracellular transport pathways are fundamental for cell structure and function. Due to their longevity, complex morphology (long axonal and dendritic extensions) and requirement to maintain synaptic transmission, neurons are heavily dependent upon intracellular transport.
