G-quadruplexes Catalyze Protein Folding by Reshaping the Energetic Landscape

G-Quadruplexes Catalyze Protein Folding: A Research Report Academic Background Protein folding is a complex and unsolved problem in biology. Many proteins fold very slowly in vitro, far exceeding the time ranges acceptable under physiological conditions. To address this challenge, ATP (adenosine triphosphate)-dependent chaperonins are thought to ac...

Mechanistic Insights into Inactivating Mutations in the Proton-Coupled Folate Transporter (SLC46A1), and Compensatory Mutations that Restore Function

Research Background and Problem Statement Hereditary Folate Malabsorption (HFM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired intestinal absorption of folates and hindered transport across the choroid plexus into cerebrospinal fluid. This disease is caused by inactivating mutations in the gene encoding the Proton-Coupled Folate T...
