Metamorphic proteins, known for their ability to switch shapes, may be influenced by temperature, particularly cold temperatures. This temperature dependence could explain the equilibrium between ...

A new theory suggests temperature controls how metamorphic proteins shapeshift, with colder temperatures promoting ...

The “shapeshifters” of bacterial, animal, and human cells are metamorphic proteins. Their capacity to rapidly transition between two distinct shapes allows them to perform a variety of tasks and ...

In a new paper, two researchers suggest that many metamorphic proteins have an “underlying temperature dependence.” If ...

Studies of four different metamorphic proteins revealed that cold temperature can induce a transformation from one state to ...

This useful study presents findings on the developmental roles of Nup107, a key nucleoporin, in regulating the larval-to-pupal transition in Drosophila melanogaster through its involvement in ecdysone ...
