In genomes, three letters or bases of DNA encode an amino acid. Amino acids are then strung together by the cell to create proteins. There is some redundancy in that genetic code, but there are single ...

With its 2,214 amino acids and its dynamic lifestyle as an endosomal recycling receptor, SORL1 is rife with opportunities for mutations that could thwart its function. The size and splendor of this ...
