Membrane protein targeting and insertion is a fundamental process in cellular biology that ensures proteins are correctly delivered to, and integrated within, the lipid bilayer. Proteins destined for ...

Membrane proteins are integral to cellular function, mediating processes from signal transduction to transport. Research in this domain has long been challenged by the inherent instability of these ...

Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...

Nuclera, the biotechnology company accelerating protein expression and optimization through its benchtop eProtein Discovery™ system, today announced the addition of a new membrane protein workflow to ...

Membrane proteins are vital for cellular signaling, transport, and communication, making them attractive drug targets despite their challenging properties. Advances in mass spectrometry have enabled ...

Living organisms share an ancestor called the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA. LUCA is estimated to have lived ...

Membrane proteins are the gateway to cells and are involved in many critical functions. Each membrane protein is unique, and their complexity makes it difficult to fit into a standardized expression ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their structures in a natural membrane environment is crucial for enhancing our ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For ...

Biologists have engineered adeno-associated viruses that are better at capsid filling, potentially resulting in higher productivity.

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...
