Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close ...

Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious ...

A research team from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) discovered a phenomenon in which specific lipids were ...

A computer-driven strategy has revealed new insights into how membrane proteins behave and function, potentially aiding drug ...

The authors describe an interesting approach to studying the dynamics and function of membrane proteins in different lipid environments. The important findings have theoretical and practical ...

A new study presents computational strategies to manipulate membrane protein folding and function for biotechnological applications.

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...
