The TV article covers the recent research study that determined the first atomic resolution structure of Uncoupling protein 1 by Cryo EM. The protein allows brown adipose tissue in mammals, including humans, to burn away calories as heat. Understanding how it works, how it may be promoted and 'switched on', could lead to new therapeutics to help treat obesity, diabetes and related disease.
