Fat molecule’s inability to bond with shape-shifting protein in cell’s powerhouse linked to an inherited metabolic disease

Fat molecule’s inability to bond with shape-shifting protein in cell’s powerhouse linked to an inherited metabolic disease

By studying mutations in yeast and human cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found that biochemical bonds between fats and proteins in the mitochondrion, the cell’s powerhouse, play a crucial role in how our cells produce energy. The study results, published June 5 in The EMBO Journal, shed new light, researchers say, on … Read more
