    I have to write 200 words on the role(s) of dynamin in clathrin- related endocytosis, but I'm having problems finding anything about it. Can anyone help with any aspect of the question?

    Yeah, I found that site earlier but it doesn't seem to have anything about its role in endocytosis...

    from somewhere in that webby wrote:
    Formation of Endocytic vesicles.
    Once the vesicle has formed, the clathrin coat is lost (perhaps via a chaperone protein of the heat shock protein 70 family). The loss of the coat is an energy requiring process

    dynamin is a GTPase, and would release energy (see first webby quoted)



    and then you can read this

    (two hundred words is way not this much hassle)

    Cheers Tree. I realise 200 words is **** all, but it's worth 35 marks out of 100 for an assessed problem worth 15% of my overall grade, so I want to do the best I can. Especially since I don't understand most of the course!!

    Did you go to the NCBI website. Honestly and Im not pointing the finger at you, but the amount of people looking for specific answers on things most of us wouldnt be able to answer and fail to look up the proper resources.:(

    Yup, I've been there, I've been to PubMed, I've been to Swiss- Prot, Sanger and countless others. I was told to "avoid indiscriminate Googling" (BTO, 2006) but so far that's proved the most helpful! Anywho, it's nearly done now :)
