Nanodiscs catch misfolding proteins red-handed - Phys.org Phys.Org
When proteins misfold, accumulate and clump around insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, they kill cells. Now, researchers, including University of Michigan biophysicists, have obtained a structural snapshot of these proteins ...

"We're able to stop the aggregation of the protein in this restricted membrane environment so we can monitor what it looks like before it becomes a mass of fibers," said lead researcher Ayyalusamy Ramamoorthy, UM professor of biophysics and chemistry ...

Proteins' passing phases revealed
Phys.Org
X-ray crystallography and, more recently, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are the most common tools to see how the amino acids in a protein chain arrange themselves based on their attractive and repulsive energies, but they say nothing about ...
