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

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle technology that can be used to stabilize membrane proteins so that their structure can be studied in a lipid environment. The method makes it possible to ...

Research Is Seeing the Emergence of Many Promising Techniques, Including Novel Sample Delivery Systems Membrane proteins, such as receptors, ion channels, and transporters, comprise nearly 30% of all ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed DeMemSeg, an AI-powered analysis pipeline that addresses a long-standing ...

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

Researchers have struggled to explain the molecular structure of proton exchange membranes, the key component in hydrogen fuel cells. Researchers have developed a model that explains how the membrane ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the metabolism of the cell, they also play a key role in the integration of signals ...

The Golgi body (or Golgi complex, apparatus), and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are both organelles found in the majority of eukaryotic cells. They are very closely associated and show both similarities ...
