The designed proteins block hemoglobin from binding ChuA, an outer membrane bacterial protein, helping to inhibit E. coli's growth.

Researchers try multiple means to get high-quality membrane proteins for X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies.

Voltage sensors are structures within a protein that can sense the membrane potential. The movement of the sensing charges, combined with the configuration of the electric field, determines the ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

Learn how cell-free protein synthesis helps researchers overcome the challenges of traditional membrane protein production ...

What is the significance of membrane proteins in drug discovery and development research? Membrane proteins are the gatekeepers of cellular communication. Embedded in the lipid bilayers of cells, ...
