created six specialized centers to work on difficult problems in protein structure, two were devoted to membrane proteins. These six centers are part of a much larger network of centers and ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL)—commonly known as bad cholesterol—have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor ...

Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength ... These bundles are then encased in long membrane tubes to form filopodia, which must be strong enough ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy and AI, researchers at the University of Missouri have mapped ApoB100, a key protein in LDL ...

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 environments-water, lipid membranes, or other condensed phases-are critical to their ...
