Mechanisms of Integral Membrane Protein Insertion and Folding

TL;DR: A theme of the review is the under-appreciated role of basic thermodynamic principles in MP folding and assembly, which not only dictates the final folded structure but also is the driving force for the evolution of the ribosome-translocon system of assembly.

UCSF Chimera--a visualization system for exploratory research and analysis.

TL;DR: Two unusual extensions are presented: Multiscale, which adds the ability to visualize large‐scale molecular assemblies such as viral coats, and Collaboratory, which allows researchers to share a Chimera session interactively despite being at separate locales.

Image processing with ImageJ

TL;DR: ImageJ is an open source Java-written program that is used for many imaging applications, including those that that span the gamut from skin analysis to neuroscience, and can read most of the widely used and significant formats used in biomedical images.

The 3′-Terminal Sequence of Escherichia coli 16S Ribosomal RNA: Complementarity to Nonsense Triplets and Ribosome Binding Sites

TL;DR: It is suggested that this region of the RNA is able to interact with mRNA and that the 3'-terminal U-U-A(OH) is involved in the termination of protein synthesis through base-pairing with terminator codons.

The complete atomic structure of the large ribosomal subunit at 2.4 A resolution.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the large ribosomal subunit from Haloarcula marismortui is determined at 2.4 angstrom resolution, and it includes 2833 of the subunit's 3045 nucleotides and 27 of its 31 proteins.
