A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A ...

The cellular membrane controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell. Some larger cargo, such as membrane proteins ...

The investigators studied the membrane-targeting sequence (MTS) of bactofilin A (BacA) in Caulobacter crescentus to explore its role in membrane binding and polymerization. They used various ...

Therefore, the collection of lipids and proteins that make up a cellular membrane relies on natural biophysical properties to form and function. In living cells, however, many proteins are not ...
