The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This novel technique for studying scramblases could lead to a better understanding of how these proteins work and become dysfunctional, potentially opening new avenues for developing drugs to modulate scramblase activity for clinical applications. The ability to measure individual scramblase activity offers greater precision than previous bulk analysis methods.
