Protein interaction causing rare but deadly vaccine-related clotting found
by University of Birmingham PF4 binding to c-Mpl disrupts TPO binding. (A) AlphaFold prediction of the binding of PF4 and TPO to c-Mpl. Overlayed cartoon structures of c-Mpl (green) complexed with either PF4 (blue) or TPO (orange) as modeled using Colabfold. Structure predictions were ranked by pLDDT, a per-residue measure of the confidence of the predicted...

Protein interactions and brain function
by Bill Snyder, Vanderbilt University Forty years since its discovery, much remains to be discovered about an enzyme called CaMKII that plays a key role in shaping learning and memory in the brain. Now Roger Colbran, Ph.D., graduate student Tyler Perfitt and colleagues report in the Journal of Neuroscience the discovery of a novel interaction...
