The proposal of functional rafts in eukaryotic membranes 1 prompted a period of extensive research, revealing many physiological contexts that appear to use this mechanism of membrane organization for ...

Researchers have developed a detailed computational model of the soybean plasma membrane that provides new structural insight at the molecular level, which may have applications for studying membrane ...

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle technology that can be used to stabilize membrane proteins so that their structure can be studied in a lipid environment. The method makes it possible to ...

The aim of the conference is to discuss recent structural and functional developments of membrane proteins in experimental and computational contexts. Topics covered will include ligand-gated ion ...

• 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 ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 6, 2017 -- A cell's plasma membrane forms a protective barrier, separating its inner contents from the outside environment. There is a pressing need to better understand the ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, have developed a nanoparticle technology that can be used to stabilise membrane proteins so that their structure can be studied in a lipid ...
