News and updates from the Lechtenberg Lab at WEHI in Melbourne. Interested in Ubiquitin ligases, protein structures, and drug discovery. Views my own.
Excited to share our latest preprint on @biorxivpreprint: "The RBR E3 ubiquitin ligase HOIL-1 can ubiquitinate diverse non-protein substrates in vitro". biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
World-first: researchers have discovered what protein #PINK1 looks like in humans and how it is activated, solving a decades-long mystery in the fight against #Parkinsonsdisease. The team hope to use the knowledge to find a drug to stop #Parkinsons. wehi.edu.au/news/scientist…
