Scientists at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how ...

Viruses are masters at invading cells thanks to specialized proteins that coat their surfaces. When scientists design ...

Understanding the best ways to get a membrane protein to its destination in a cell is crucial, and the best method to make this happen is still unclear. Cell-free systems allow for interactions ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 helping neighboring ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

Researchers found that mice lacking membrane ERα signaling in osteoblast lineage cells had significantly lower cortical bone mass, highlighting the pathway’s critical role in maintaining the strength ...

The concept of the present method is shown schematically. The crosslinker (pBpa, red circle) or the cleavage site (AllocLys-OH, blue circle) is introduced to Protein 1 or Protein 2, respectively.
