Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the ...
Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial ...
A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.
Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious subdivisions and in which membranes are used almost exclusively to define the ...
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully applied cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to unveil the molecular structures of critical protein machines that transport ...
Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...
The specific research of the Plummer-Medeiros lab focuses on how proteins in the membrane interact with lipids. This ...
Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...
In the study, "Epithelial cell membrane perforation induces allergic airway inflammation," published in Nature, researchers designed a purification-and-reconstitution strategy to test whether fungal ...
