Crystal structure of the heterotrimer core of Saccharomyces cerevisiae AMPK homologue SNF1
Article Abstract:
The crystal structure of the heterotrimer core of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SNF1) is described. The structure has revealed that part of the regulatory sequence in the [alpha]-subunit (Snf1) is sequestered by the ligand-binding site in the [gamma]-subunit (Snf4), indicating that the structure has represented the heterotrimer core of SNF1 in its activated state.

Bacteria's new bones
Article Abstract:
Recent studies demonstrate the presence of various elegant internal structures inside bacteria. The discovery has proved to be extremely efficient in the field of cell biology, as it can also help in explaining the working of several other complex species.
