The journal Phys.org reports on the research performed by IRB Barcelona scientists. In the study, these researchers have provided an integrative picture of the p38α activation mechanism and new insights into the molecular effects of various molecules that regulate the enzymatic activity of this protein. 

The first author of this study is Antonija Kuzmanic, an EU Marie Curie COFUND fellow who is undertaking postdoctoral training simultaneously in two IRB Barcelona labs — the Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics Laboratory and the Signalling and Cell Cycle Laboratory.
