A Ray of Molecular Beauty from Cryo-EM

NIH Director's Blog: Drug Development

They did it using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a groundbreaking technique featured several times here on my blog. That includes those involved in regulating our appetites and our moods, via a class of G proteins known as inhibitory G proteins (G i ).

Measure Cell Metabolism with Microplate Readers | BMG LABTECH

BMG Labtech

Cell metabolism and disease Metabolic perturbations and metabolic reprogramming are associated with common human diseases. In fact, metabolism should not be considered as a self-regulating entity that is independent of other biological pathways. On the contrary, cell metabolism affects or is affected by a multitude of processes.
