Scientists have discovered tumors can tap a nontraditional pathway to acquire lipoproteins—molecules that transport fat in ...

When the antibiotic bedaquiline was introduced in 2012, it was the first new tuberculosis drug in over 40 years. Bedaquiline ...

To build their self-reproduction structures, the team began with an aqueous solution containing monomers to be polymerized, a photocatalyst, and a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer ...

By attaching hydrophobic groups like cholesterol, which anchor them into the lipid membrane’s hydrophobic core, scientists have been able to alter the membrane’s properties, such as increasing ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell ...

Additionally, the hydrophobic spacer effectively repelled water ... membrane and 4 times higher than cross-linked sulfonated polystyrene membrane,” Noro said. “Finding a fuel cell that operates under ...

Netherlands A vital function of the cell membrane in all living organism is to maintain the membrane permeability barrier and fluidity. The composition of the phospholipid bilayer is distinct in ...

which demonstrates that the hydrophobic moment and the symmetry sequence code at the membrane interacting protein domain are key factors in facilitating the membrane phase transition and, consequently ...

they are tricky to access and insoluble in water-based solutions (hydrophobic), making them difficult to study. We wanted to get these proteins out of the cell membrane, so we redesigned them as ...
