A team of researchers has identified a sperm protein that is essential for the fusion of the sperm and egg membranes during fertilization, according to a report in this week's Nature. They called the ...

These fusion proteins are the basis of many subunit vaccines ... apply the principles we’ve learnt and make a vaccine candidate very quickly, without knowing anything about the protein structure ...

thought that if he could understand the precise mechanism of why the pre-fusion F protein was so unstable, especially why it is so easy to open, he could make a more stable form—and, in turn ...

ProteoTuner System's fast kinetics make it possible to cycle the amount of the DD-tagged fusion protein rapidly and sequentially by adding Shield1 to, or removing it from, the culture medium.

It does that by talking to the membrane fusion protein." More information: Chanwoo Lee et al, Exocyst stimulates multiple steps of exocytic SNARE complex assembly and vesicle fusion, Nature ...
