Investigating the structure and mechanisms of coronavirus biomolecules
While global research on coronaviruses has shed light on the function of many SARS-CoV-2 proteins, the role of some crucial components remains unknown. Researchers at EMBL Grenoble will use a range of structural biology methods to try to solve some of the puzzles of the molecular mechanics of…
Genetic cut and paste at atomic resolution
Researchers in the Marcia group at EMBL Grenoble and the De Vivo lab at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa have obtained some of the most detailed ever snapshots of the splicing process in systems known as group II self-splicing introns. The new insights will help scientists to develop…
MEG3 kissing loops essential for tumour suppression
MEG3 adopts a complex three-dimensional structure to fulfil its tumour suppressor function.
Enzymes’ superimposable structures revealed
EMBL scientists superimpose structures of two-metal-ion enzymes and reveal new potential drug targets
Welcome: Marco Marcia
