The specific research of the Plummer-Medeiros lab focuses on how proteins in the membrane interact with lipids. This ...

Membrane proteins are proteins that are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes. Membrane proteins account ...

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

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

• Activation of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) results in immunity and a localized cell death. NLR cell death activity requires oligomerization and in some cases plasma ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is rapidly evolving to be the primary tool for structure determination of membrane proteins. However, generation of high quality membrane protein for structural ...

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 ...

Vesicles are small cellular containers. They perform a variety of functions, such as helping to transport materials that an organism needs to survive and recycle waste materials. There are several ...
