In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...

For the sensor, Mukherjee’s team looked to a protein called calprotectin, which helps the immune system by trapping metallic ions—among them, manganese ions—that pathogens require to grow.

Two recent studies report how a calcium-sensing protein called STIM1 signals that it's time to initiate calcium retrieval and then relays that message to its partner, the calcium channel ORAI.
