Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not ... Binding causes a conformational change in the protein that transmits a signal to ...

Most cell signals are chemical in nature ... switches to internal signaling pathways. Membrane receptors fall into three major classes: G-protein-coupled receptors, ion channel receptors, and ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

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

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger RNA—a prerequisite for protein synthesis in the cell. The poorly ...
