Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane. Peripheral membrane proteins, for example some signalling proteins, are tethered by an anchor, via a fatty acid ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

But how do the proteins that form the channel make it to the plasma membrane? A research group led by Professor Junpei Takano of Osaka Metropolitan University's Graduate School of Agriculture ...

Our laboratory uses a combination of structural biology and biophysical techniques to discover how ion channels and membrane-embedded enzymes function at the atomic level. The proteins we study are ...

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