New study describes a fundamental mechanism regulating a protein’s shape and function, with potential applications in biotechnology and drug development.

New research using fruit flies with Alzheimer’s protein finds that the disease doesn’t stop the biological clock ticking, but detaches it from the sleep-wake cycle that it usually regulates. Findings could lead to more effective ways to improve sleep patterns in those with Alzheimer’s.
