Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
A protein hindered from folding by its parent ribosome
Cassaignau and colleagues use NMR to reveal how a dynamic elongating nascent polypeptide interacts with the ribosome to modulate its folding (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-021-00796-x)
An Unlikely Tale: How a Paper on Hemostasis, Puncture Wounds and Platelets Came from a Team Led by Ph.D.s in Physics and Biochemistry
Puncture wounds and how platelet leads to bleeding cessation is not normally thought of as problem in cell and developmental biology. Here a team trained in physics and biochemistry take exactly that approach to thrombus structure and how that leads to bleeding cessation in ta jugular wound.
