GPCR-RAMP Interactome Maps Could Help Drug Developers Find Buried Treasures
Most protein-targeting drugs are prizes that drug developers have unearthed from G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) interactomes. So, when GPCR-targeting drugs become harder to find, one might liken GPCR interactomes to depleted mines, and consider...
A novel approach to photosynthetic production of high-value compounds
Using evolution as a guiding principle, researchers have successfully engineered bacteria-yeast hybrids to perform photosynthetic carbon assimilation, generate cellular energy and support yeast growth without traditional carbon feedstocks like glucose or glycerol. By engineering...
