Dissociation of the four-part TTR protein. The energy landscape shows stable states toward the bottom and unstable transition states toward the top. In the canonical pathway (red), the tetramer (T) dissociates via a native-like, compact transition state (‡1) into transient dimer intermediates (D) before full dissociation into monomers (M). In the newly discovered alternative pathway (blue), the tetramer dissociates through a more expanded transition state (‡2) directly into monomers. Credit: Jan-Hannes Schäfer, Scripps Research

Dyna-1 predicted millisecond-scale movements in regions of KRAS (pictured), a cancer-associated protein that has been notoriously difficult to target. “Switch I” and “Switch II” indicate the protein’s movements in this timescale. The thickness of the circular dashed lines indicates Dyna-1’s predictions compared to the experimentally measured us-ms exchange in color.

The new guidelines for ulcerative colitis mean fewer surgeries—and fewer colonoscopies

Dr. Amy Lightner has spent her career moving between the operating room and the research lab, treating ulcerative colitis (UC) and other inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients as a surgeon while also searching for better treatments as a scientist.
