Three distinct snapshots obtained with cryo-electron microscopy illustrate the arrangement of two of the four symmetrical subunits that make a functional NMDA receptor. During activation, as the ...
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionalized our understanding of the intricate molecular machinery that governs life. It has elucidated the three-dimensional (3D) structure of biological ...
What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy? Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and ...
A new study published in Science Advances describes a potential target for therapies aimed at treating anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, also known as ‘Brain on Fire,’ an ...
The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...
When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment ...
