In the new research, a team of scientists led by David Staněk (IMG) described a protein that ensures correct assembly, and thus the function of the so-called splicing complex, one of the largest molecular complexes in human cells composed of 150 different components. [continue]
Experts from the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences managed to find a hitherto unknown protein and describe its role in cell division. Their knowledge could be used in the future to control cell division in anticancer treatment. [continue]
The modern method of cryoelectron microscopy shows cellular structures in almost atomic resolution and allows a better understanding of the chemical bonds and functioning of living organisms.
