Cytoskeleton

• the first Trk receptor, which regulates synaptic strength and plasticity in neurons, was originally identified as part of a fusion gene with the cytoskeletal protein tropomyosin, forming an oncogene in colon and thyroid cancers?

Protein

• Europe's most powerful supercomputer, MareNostrum, will be used in human genome research, protein research, weather forecasting and the design of new drugs?
• proteins are often broken down into smaller fragments by in-gel digestion before they are analysed by mass spectrometry?
• cell adhesion is a product of protein bonding?
• coccolithovirus, a giant double-stranded DNA virus, has 472 protein-coding genes, and is the largest known marine virus by genome?
• cystatin C (structure pictured) is a human protein studied as a biomarker of decreased kidney function and prognosis in cardiovascular diseases?
