A review of the mammalian unfolded protein response

…, AW Chen, JD Varner - Biotechnology and …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Proteins requiring post‐translational modifications such as N‐linked glycosylation are
processed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A diverse array of cellular stresses can lead to …

Engineering the spatial organization of metabolic enzymes: mimicking nature's synergy

RJ Conrado, JD Varner, MP DeLisa - Current opinion in biotechnology, 2008 - Elsevier
A growing body of evidence indicates that many cellular reactions within metabolic pathways
are catalyzed not by free-floating ‘soluble’ enzymes, but via one or more membrane-…

[HTML][HTML] Computationally derived points of fragility of a human cascade are consistent with current therapeutic strategies

D Luan, M Zai, JD Varner - PLoS computational biology, 2007 - journals.plos.org
