A new research paper was published in Oncotarget, titled, "Polyisoprenylated cysteinyl amide inhibitors deplete singly polyisoprenylated monomeric G-proteins in lung and breast cancer cell lines.

Whereas only unfolded, monomeric proteins can be translocated across the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial membranes, the machinery for the import of matrix proteins can translocate ...

Starch and cellulose are polymers made from the glucose monomer. Proteins are polymers of the amino acids monomers. Lipids are made from two different molecules called fatty acids and glycerol.

At right, the monomeric camelid (red) is compared with the structure of the full-sized human antibody. VHH is a nanobody designed to target green fluorescent proteins used in proof-of-principle ...
