Researchers explore how natural compounds in traditional Chinese medicine can modulate cholesterol metabolism to combat ...

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 ...

Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic in which transmembrane proteins can move laterally in the lipid bilayer. Therefore, the collection of ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

They resolved the structure of the Pil1 and Lsp1 proteins, as well as the lipid density within the membrane bilayer, at a resolution of around 3.2 Å. The study revealed a remarkable organization ...

In LLPS, liquid condensates—or membrane-less organelles—that are enriched in specific protein-protein or protein ... physiology at the intersection of structure and function.

Most drugs target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to alter the transport of ions and molecules and the transduction of cellular signals. The Diver lab explores the biological ...

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...
