- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7370) Peer-ReviewedEnzymes catalyse specific reactions and are essential for maintaining life. Although some are referred to as being bifunctional, they consist of either two distinct catalytic domains or a single domain that displays...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7370) Peer-ReviewedRalph Steinman changed the world of immunology when he discovered dendritic cells, but it took the field a long time to recognize the importance of his discovery. The idea that a new type of immune cell could be found...
