A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), led by Professor Miguel Ángel del Pozo Barriuso, who heads the Mechanoadaptation and Caveolae Biology group at the CNIC, has ...
Phosphorylation is the enzymatic process through which a phosphate group is added via an ester bond, generally by a kinase, to either a small molecule or a protein. Protein phosphorylation is ...
The researchers thought that since phosphorylation is so common throughout the body, the process must have been involved in the early stages of protocell formation. The team recreated conditions ...
The team developed a phosphorylation reagent bearing a hydrophobic tag to simplify the RNA purification process. After screening several candidates, the team determined that a nitrobenzyl derivative ...
