The compartmentalization of the plasma membrane (PM) is a fundamental feature cells. diffusivity proteins significantly lower in biological than artificial membranes. This likely due to actin filaments, but assays prove direct dependence remain elusive. We recently showed that periodic rings neuronal axon initial segment (AIS) confine protein motion between them. Still, local enrichment ion channels offers an alternative explanation. Here we show, using computational modeling, contrast...
Enzymes often by far exceed the activity, selectivity, and sustainability achieved with chemical catalysts. One of main reasons for lack biocatalysis in industry is poor stability exhibited many enzymes when exposed to process conditions. This dilemma exemplified usually very temperature-sensitive catalyzing Baeyer-Villiger reaction, which display excellent stereo- regioselectivity offer a green alternative commonly used, explosive peracids. Here we describe protein engineering approach...
Optimal formats to inform and engage young students in novel biology-related fields are short courses. Training schools, e.g. those lasting for five days, can provide enough content introduce an extensive overview of bioinformatics scientific career opportunities.In this work, we define a five-day training school format tailored three target groups students: high students, undergraduate computational fields. We structure the sessions around learning areas consisting topics, detailing...
The compartmentalization of the plasma membrane is a fundamental feature cells. diffusivity proteins in plane significantly lower cells than observed artificial membranes. This seems due to sub-membranous actin cortex, but tractable assays prove direct dependence protein motion on filaments have been elusive. We recently showed that periodic array sub-membrane surround neuronal axons ring-like structures axonal initial segment (AIS) confines between them, local enrichment ion channels may...
