Scientists uncover new way viruses fight back against bacteria

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. An international team of researchers led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago and Dr Rafael Pinilla-Redondo from the University of Copenhagen has published a study in […]

Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function

Hundreds of mitochondrial proteins rely on N-terminal presequences for organellar targeting and import. While generally described as positively charged amphiphilic helices, presequences lack a consensus motif and thus likely promote protein import into mitochondria with variable efficiencies. Indeed, the concept of presequence strength underlies biological models such as stress sensing, yet a quantitative analysis of […]

Labour’s ‘deeply alarming’ attack on protest rights

British authorities have severely restricted the right to protest in contravention of their international human rights obligations, creating an environment in which peaceful dissent is increasingly treated as a criminal act, Human Rights Watch said in its latest report. ‘Silencing the Streets’: The Right to Protest Under Attack in the UK documents that the UK’s […]
