Scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally self-organize into crystalline supramolecular networks. This significant discovery could ...

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a major endocytic route used by transferrin, growth-factor receptors and pathogenic viruses during infectious entry. Although clathrin-dependent uptake is the best ...

Some larger cargo, such as membrane proteins, nutrients, and pathogens, enter the cell via a process known as clathrin-mediated endocytosis. To gain a deeper understanding of this important ...

The coat proteins COPI, COPII and clathrin mediate the formation of transport vesicles from distinct membranes: COPI triggers vesicle formation at the Golgi, COPII works at the endoplasmic ...

In our lab, we focus on clathrin-mediated endocytosis, the predominant route for membrane internalisation in most cells. In addition to its role in endocytosis, the clathrin machinery also forms ...

Covalent bonding is a widely understood phenomenon that joins the atoms of a molecule by a shared electron pair. But in nature, patterns of molecules ...
