TLDR
The PHENIX software for macromolecular structure determination is described and its uses and benefits are described.Abstract:
Macromolecular X-ray crystallography is routinely applied to understand biological processes at a molecular level. However, significant time and effort are still required to solve and complete many of these structures because of the need for manual interpretation of complex numerical data using many software packages and the repeated use of interactive three-dimensional graphics. PHENIX has been developed to provide a comprehensive system for macromolecular crystallographic structure solution with an emphasis on the automation of all procedures. This has relied on the development of algorithms that minimize or eliminate subjective input, the development of algorithms that automate procedures that are traditionally performed by hand and, finally, the development of a framework that allows a tight integration between the algorithms.read more

TL;DR: Comparison of the four R-spondin proteins, mutants and chimeras in biophysical and cellular assays shows that their signalling potency depends on their ability to recruit ZNRF3 or RNF43 via Fu1 into a complex with LGR receptors, which interact with Rspo via Fu2.

TL;DR: The mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of more than 90% of the ATP produced by mammalian cells under aerobic conditions and the chemiosmotic mechanism, proposed by Peter Mitchell, states that the enzyme transduces the energy of a proton gradient into the major energy currency of the cell, ATP.
