Transmembrane proteins are crucial vehicles for cellular transport and communication, composing ~20–30% of all proteomes 1 and ~60% of drug targets 2. Understanding mechanisms governing the functional ...
Existing quantitative approaches to describe lipid flip-flop focus on experimental measurements or calculations at the level ...
Cells actively maintain complex lipidomes that encompass thousands of lipids; however, many of the roles of these lipids remain unexplored. Specific interactions between lipids and membrane proteins ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...
Biologists on the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have discovered a new mechanism that likely underlies how we feel force or touch. Their study suggests that "rafts" of fatty ...
