NMT in a new light: associated with the ribosome via the NAC complex, this enzyme not only adds lipid tags to the N-termini of nascent proteins but also acts as a chaperone, cooperating with MetAPs to ensure proper folding and delivery.

It’s happening at I2BC
I2BC takes part in
The I2BC is concerned by the future of scientists in the United States, with whom its teams collaborate closely.
The I2BC stands in solidarity with the Stand Up For Science movement and all scientists working in the USA, where academic freedom is currently being called into question.
The I2BC wishes to recall the importance of science and progress in today’s world, where we are faced with numerous societal challenges and crises.
