Cholesterol is an important regulator of membrane protein function. However, the exact mechanisms involved in this process are still not fully understood. Here we study how the tertiary and quaternary ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Cholesterol-clobbering drugs called statins do their good work via the molecular equivalent of a sit-down strike, report researchers in the May 11 Science. The researchers used X-ray crystallography ...

This news release is available in German. The word "cholesterol" is directly linked in most people's minds with high-fat foods, worrying blood test results, and cardiovascular diseases. However, ...

Using X-ray crystallography, researchers have determined the 3-D atomic structure of a human sterol transporter that helps maintain cholesterol balance. Using X-ray crystallography, UT Southwestern ...
