Prof. Tian Wenli at the Institute of Apicultural Research of CAAS published a paper titled "Architecture of the native major royal jelly protein 1 oligomer" in Nature Communications. The heterogeneous ternary complex structure of MRJP1 was determined by using its weak homologous protein structure. The result explains why MRJP1 oligomer in royal jelly is more stable than MRJP1 monomer and why royal jelly can lower cholesterol.
