Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.

In a pioneering discovery, researchers at UNIST have captured, for the first time, the elusive intermediate stages involved in the pairing of cell membrane proteins. Contrary to long-held beliefs that ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

The researchers discovered that the lipid phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P)—usually scarce in the ER—acts as a ...

CFTR is a protein essential to wet surfaces throughout your body, like the airways of your lungs. People with cystic fibrosis have a gene mutation that causes problems with the protein. Some ...

Discover how Bruker and the University of Manchester joined forces to discover more on the dynamics of complex protein.

To understand the role of a common atomic pattern that occurs in many different types of membrane proteins, Scripps Research scientists designed synthetic proteins that are more stable and easier to ...
