The tools and tricks for studying membrane proteins are different from those used for soluble proteins, he says, but the strategy is the same: working on all aspects of the process. “The key to ...

Most of these processes are performed by proteins embedded within the cellular membrane. While some proteins only cross the membrane once, many do so several times, like a thread being woven into ...

Scientists have identified nanoparticles that latch onto and destroy virus membranes, opening new possibilities for antiviral ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...

Endosomal recycling is a branch of intracellular membrane trafficking that retrieves endocytosed cargo proteins from early and late endosomes to prevent their degradatio ...

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