"Como pasa con mucho de lo que rodea a la ciencia en España, el nombre no es muy conocido en nuestros lares. La única forma en la que un científico salta al candelero es cuando le dan algún premio, se implica en un escándalo o fallece."

SDSC-housed Protein Data Bank Brings Molecules Up to Size
Molecules — the unseen architects that form everything from the DNA in your cells to the planets in distant galaxies, crafting the very fabric of reality while remaining too small for the human eye to glimpse. But thanks to the Protein Data Bank we can now “see” these hidden wonders.

The Dutch Research Council (NWO) announced large investments in 11 (inter)national research infrastructures this week, and we are very happy that includes investments in our electron microscopy and mass spectrometry facilities, through projects EMPower and BioBeyond-NL:

www.nwo.nl/en/news/nati...
National Roadmap: NWO invests 197 million euro in eleven Large-Scale Research Infrastructures | NWO
Eleven consortia from various scientific disciplines are set to launch projects of great value to science. But also to the economic and social prosperity of the Netherlands. For example, a consortium led by TU Delft will start work on a detailed virtual model of the Dutch energy system. In another project, a consortium of UMC Utrecht is developing an MRI scanner that can scan people in motion.

Vinculin is a simple adapter protein right? Wrong!

That’s been the prevailing view for the 46 years since it was discovered.

Here we provide a new paradigm and show that vinculin is a complex mechanosensor itself, containing 6 binary switch domains.

Vinculin buffers force via dynamic domain unfolding/refolding under physiological load and lacks a stable head-tail lock.
