Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have discovered some key features that explain just what turns on a protein that is considered to be a master regulator of how the human body uses and stores energy.
The new discoveries could help in the design and development of new therapeutics to treat metabolic disease such as diabetes and obesity?and perhaps some cancers as well.
The new study, led by Patrick R. Griffin, chair of the TSRI Department of Molecular Therapeutics, was published recently online ahead of print by the journal Structure.
