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 ...

These membrane platforms play crucial roles in a variety ... Lipid rafts contain a wide variety of integral and peripheral proteins that can be modified upon reaction to different stimuli such as the ...

Protein aggregation is typical of various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases such as Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. A research team has now used new in vitro and ...

Protein aggregation is typical of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases such as ...

From combating cancer and infections to storing energy, lipid-protein interactions are critical to biological processes in ...

Lipid anchors on nerve cell membranes stabilize prion protein folding, inhibiting aggregation. Membrane-anchored proteins clump only when exposed to pre-formed protein aggregates, simulating ...

By Alice Callahan On TikTok, influencers tout protein powder as key to building muscle and nourishing their bodies — all in a quick, convenient scoop added to coffee or a smoothie. There’s no ...

But if you feel dizzy and didn't just step off a roller coaster, check with your doctor to see if you've got one of the two most common forms of vertigo: central and peripheral. There are drugs ...

To understand mirror life, consider good old-fashioned life. The building blocks of life, like DNA and proteins, all have a property called chirality. Derived from the Greek word for “handedness ...

This study identifies a pathway for oxidation and assembly of mitochondrial inner membrane proteins. Dbi1 is a conserved mitochondrial inner membrane protein that interacts with the unassembled pool ...
