Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes ... glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) or a hydrophobic protein patch. A study describes the design of de novo ligand-binding transmembrane ...

Using protein structure prediction tools, researchers have uncovered receptor structure-function relationships to improve cell therapies.

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

The membrane of the cell protects the cell from its surroundings and divides it into internal compartments; it is responsible for metabolism, energy production, communication with other cells and much ...

This membrane protects the cell from its surroundings and divides ... these short tails developed hydrophobic properties, meaning that they repel water and are strongly attracted to fatty lipids.

It uses microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology ... membrane” with asymmetric surface wettability. The Janus membrane is a hydrophobic-hydrophilic interface, inspired by natural examples such ...

After overnight incubation, the cell cultures were centrifuged at 6000 rpm at 4 °C for 40 min. The supernatants were then filtered using a 0.45 μm pore size MCE membrane (ChromTech, #MJM4547) to ...

5 Prokaryotes and eukaryotes vary in several important ways – these differences include structural variation – whether a nucleus is present or absent and whether the cell has membrane-bound organelles ...

Herein a multigene fusion strategy is introduced for constructing a hydrophobic cell surface display (HCSD) system in Escherichia coli as a robust, recyclable, and sustainable whole-cell catalyst. The ...
