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.

The passage of these molecules relies on specific transport proteins embedded in the membrane. Membrane transport proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they move, and they often ...

A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along ...

Most drugs target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to alter the transport of ions and molecules and the transduction of cellular signals. The Diver lab explores the biological ...

Dr. Zhou’s lab focuses on two families of proteins, membrane transport proteins that facilitate transmembrane flux of ions and small molecules, and membrane-embedded enzymes that are involved in ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Membrane proteins synthesized and purified within 48 hours. Active membrane transporter, MsbA and integral membrane protein, ZMPSTE24 synthesized Nuclera, the biotechnology company accelerating ...

Similarly, all human cells require large protein coat complexes, working at transport hubs called endosomes ... to assemble structures with a fatty membrane, ensuring that molecules are delivered ...

Membrane proteins have been found to contain hidden pathways that can be exploited to alter cell behavior, potentially leading to the development of new or improved drugs.

Nuclera, the biotechnology company accelerating protein expression and optimization through its benchtop eProtein Discovery™ system, today announced the addition of a new membrane protein workflow to ...
