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 ...

Outer membrane protein TraT protects bacteria from secondary F plasmid conjugation. Here, the authors report cryo-EM structure of decameric cork-like TraT and its evolutionary history as a ...

EPFL 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 ...

Studying them is challenging because the proteins must be embedded in lipid bilayers to retain their native structure. Many membrane proteins also require post-translational modifications ...

Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell ...
