Nature Chemical Biology
An international monthly journal that provides a high-visibility forum for the chemical biology community, combining the scientific ideas and approaches of chemistry, biology and allied disciplines to understand and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision.
In this paper, we reported the structures of two mGlu3-βarr1 complex with 2:1 and 2:2 stoichiometries. The mGlu3 in an inactive conformation engages βarr1 through phosphorylated C-terminal tail and intracellular loops.
Engineered yeast good at straw-sugar conversion
Lignocellulosic ethanol has been thoroughly explored, but its use has not matured due to economic and technological constraints. With the increased attention to climate change, the industrial utilization of lignocellulose, especially lignocellulosic ethanol, has regained attention.
