Our new preprint on the impact of protein phosphorylation on structures is now out!

Protein phosphorylation is a key regulator of cellular processes.It's ubiquitous, yet the function and relevance of most phosphosites is unknown. Understanding phosphosite function requires elucidating the structural mechanisms through which it acts. (1)

Hijacking strategy mapped for hundreds of viruses

One strategy that viruses use to take over a host cell is to mimic small parts of the cell's proteins called motifs.
