Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

Taken together, a penetration ring consisting of secreted Ppe family proteins is formed between plant cell wall and plasma membrane, which may function as a novel physical structure at the interface ...

Taken together, a penetration ring consisting of secreted Ppe1 family proteins is formed between plant cell wall and cytoplasm membrane, which may function as a novel physical structure at the ...

GENETIC MANIPULATION Their work entailed sorting through and genetically manipulating the functions of a complicated alphabet soup of plant proteins in controlled experiments using a model plant ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex life, their defining feature being the presence of membrane-bound organelles. This article details the structure of eukaryotic cells and provides ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly and to assemble multiprotein complexes like the photosynthetic apparatus. Specialized transporters ...

Mass spectrometry-based footprinting is an emerging approach for studying protein structure. Because integral membrane proteins are difficult targets for conventional structural biology, we recently ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures. This article details the structure of prokaryotic cells and provides examples of prokaryotic organisms.

Two groundbreaking studies published in the journal Cell shed light on the assembly, function and evolutionary diversity of the chloroplast protein import system.

To come up with a breathable and waterproof membrane that was completely plant-based was a big challenge for the scientists at Polartec, a Milliken brand. The new system uses molecular diffusion, ...
