The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their structures in a natural membrane environment is crucial for enhancing our ...

An international team of scientists, coordinated by the Seville Institute of Biomedicine (IBiS) and the University of Seville has solved one of the hitherto unresolved enigmas of basic biology: how ...

The cytokine-producing signal protein, a target for drug hunters, has additional activators that could be manipulated ...

Researchers in Bochum have discovered a control mechanism that may also operate beyond plants. Proteins carrying a "tail anchor" must be inserted into the ER membrane before they can fulfill their ...

Utrecht, the Netherlands - Soy protein supplements do not improve plasma lipids in postmenopausal women, a new study has found. Hormone replacement therapy has been used to counteract some of these ...

There has been an unprecedented research effort to understand the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite this, the subcellular distribution of coronavirus in COVID-19 ...
