Nuclera and leadXpro have formed a partnership to accelerate structure-based drug design targeting complex membrane proteins, ...

Nanodiscs have emerged as a transformative platform for the study of membrane proteins, offering a native‐like lipid bilayer environment that preserves protein structure and function outside of the ...

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 ...

Stockholm University and SciLifeLab researchers have uncovered how glucose transporters move nutrients into cells, bridging a ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

LA JOLLA, CA— Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and ...

Horne et al. used a technique called cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structure of the efflux pumps. This typically involves producing the proteins in large quantity, extracting them from the ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

In A Nutshell Your sense of cold comes from a single protein, TRPM8, which opens in response to cool temperatures and menthol. New research shows this protein doesn’t just “switch on” but actually ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have built a microscopic needle from DNA that can punch through a cell’s outer membrane and ...
