Protein surface chemistry encodes an adaptive tolerance to desiccation
Desiccated cells lose over 85% of their water content and experience widespread biomolecular dysfunction. Romero-Pérez et al. show that the yeast proteome contains a subset of proteins that are desicc...

WALII members publish a new study in Cell Systems on how "Yeast Proteins Reveal Mysteries of Drought Resistance."

This paper helps to explain how the answer to an organism's desiccation tolerance may be found in a cell's proteins.
