Engineered temperature compensation in a synthetic genetic clock We designed and constructed a synthetic genetic clock that exhibits temperature compensation—the clock’s period does not depend on temperature. This feature is nontrivial since biochemical reactions speed up with increasing temperature.
Conserved residues modulate copper release in human copper chaperone Atox1 To prevent Cu chelation by small molecule thiols, the metal loop in Atox1 appears to have evolved both to sequester Cu(I) and to form transient complexes with acceptor proteins to facilitate rapid and specific metal transfer.
