Most mitochondrial precursor proteins are encoded in the cell nucleus and synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. The translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) is the main protein-import pore of mitochondria, recognizing nascent precursors of mitochondrially targeted proteins and transferring them across the outer membrane. A 3.

Radiation damage is the most fundamental limitation for achieving high resolution in electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) of biological samples. The effects of radiation damage are reduced by liquid-helium cooling, although the use of liquid helium is more challenging than that of liquid nitrogen. To date, the benefits of liquid-nitrogen and liquid-helium cooling for single-particle cryo-EM have not been compared quantitatively.

Proteorhodopsin (PR) a recent addition to retinal type 1 protein family, is a bacterial homologue of archaeal bacteriorhodopsin. It was found to high abundance in gamma-proteobacteria in the photic zone of the oceans and has been shown to act as a photoactive proton pump. It is therefore involved in the utilisation of light energy for energy production within the cell.
