Peripheral membrane proteins are associated with the membrane but are not inserted into the bilayer. Rather, they are usually bound to other proteins in the membrane. Some peripheral proteins form ...

The core research focus of the group led by Brigita Urbanc, PhD is folding mechanisms and pathways of assembly of proteins such as: amyloid beta-protein and tau-protein associated with ... proteins ...

In many types of cells, networks of actin filaments are found beneath the cell cortex, which is the meshwork of membrane-associated proteins that supports and strengthens the plasma membrane.

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 ...

Newly discovered mechanism helps detach and recycle parts of cellular canal membranes as needed – models developed using ...

The ability to fission membranes in cells was previously attributed solely to certain proteins ... as biomolecular ...

Researchers have identified a protein, TMEM16F, that appears to aid the spread of Parkinson’s pathology in the brain.

Inside cells, there exists an extensive system of canals known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which consists of membrane-encased tubes that are partially broken down as needed -- for instance in ...
