Cryo-EM structure of the RC-LH core complex from an early branching photosynthetic prokaryote
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03881-x
Abstract: Photosynthetic prokaryotes evolved diverse light-harvesting (LH) antennas to absorb sunlight and transfer energy to reaction centers (RC). The filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs (FAPs) are important early branching photosynthetic bacteria in understanding the origin and evolution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2109993118
Abstract: Efficient and targeted sperm motility is essential for animal reproductive success. Sperm from mammals and echinoderms utilize a highly conserved signaling mechanism in which sperm motility is stimulated by pH-dependent activation of the cAMP-producing enzyme… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.prca2023-a040
Abstract: Primary prostate cancer (PCa) is frequently multifocal (genetically independent(GI) clones) and is further characterized by extensive intratumoral heterogeneity (genetically related clones). In metastatic castrate resistant PCa (mCRPC) monoclonal and polyclonal seeding of metastatic sites by… read more here.
