The chemistry of amino acid side chains is critical to protein structure because these side ... regions where the protein surface is exposed to membrane lipids. It is important to note, however ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

In a new study published in Nature, University of Missouri researchers have, for the first time, revealed the specific shape ...

Importantly, we aim to probe membrane protein structure and function in more native environments, thereby bridging gaps in knowledge between in vitro studies and in vivo models. Diver, M.M., Lin King, ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

Membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs) and phospholipid molecules make up the so-called “Nanodisc,” a synthetic phospholipid bilayer membrane structure. After the detergent is removed, TP may be ...

Researchers have developed a computational method to explicitly consider the impact of water while designing membrane receptors with enhanced stability and signaling, paving the way for novel drug ...
