The low numbers are not for lack of interest. Membrane proteins help coordinate pretty much everything a cell does; knowing their structures could help reveal how they do so. Researchers at ...

Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...

Researchers from Bonn and Erlangen identify the protein MLC1 as a target antigen in multiple sclerosis (MS); a chronic ...

A research team led by Prof. Jiang Yanyi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered an important mechanism that enables squamous cell carcinoma (SCC ...

The sewing machine-like mechanism that weaves most of the protein helices into the membrane was deciphered decades ago. As part of the embedding process, the ribosome—the cell's protein ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in ...
