Several marsupial species, including sugar gliders, independently evolved a way to make membranes that allow them to glide ...

But that wasn't the primary goal of the study, to which experts from the AWI, the Max Perutz Labs in Vienna, the Universities of Vienna and Oldenburg, and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in ...

Max Perutz is renowned for discovering the structure of hemoglobin. He and his colleagues disclosed the tetrameric structure of methemoglobin in 1970, 33 years after he had set himself that task ...

"JAK-STAT signaling is a central mechanism of our body for communicating immune signals," says Thomas Decker (Professor at ...

At an age when most scientists think about retirement, the pioneering protein X-ray crystallographer Max Perutz has not only continued a vigorous research program, but has also taken on a second ...

While the pioneering efforts of Perutz and Kendrew to determine the structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin took years, protein structures now appear at a very rapid rate. Exploring the energy ...

“JAK-STAT signalling is a central mechanism of our body for communicating immune signals,” summarizes Thomas Decker (Professor at the Max Perutz Labs and the University of Vienna) the ...

In 1965 Perutz, Kendrew and Watson 34 postulated that proline is a helix termination signal, on the basis of the X-ray structures of myoglobin and hemoglobin and of the amino acid sequences of ...

The atomic structure of hemoglobin, determined by Max Perutz and colleagues 4, showed that this residue position is located on the surface of the protein. The mutation makes sickle cell hemoglobin ...

The successful applicant will work in a stimulating scientific environment, the Department for Structural and Computational Biology at the Max Perutz Labs, a research institute established by the ...

When pathogens invade the body, the immune system must react immediately to prevent or contain an infection. But how do our defence cells stay ready when no attacker is in sight? Scientists have found ...
