Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...

Membrane proteins are the gateway to cells and are involved in many critical functions. Each membrane protein is unique, and their complexity makes it difficult to fit into a standardized expression ...

Stockholm University and SciLifeLab researchers have uncovered how glucose transporters move nutrients into cells, bridging a ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

Scientists at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how ...

A technology with the potential to treat ischemic retinopathy in premature infants and diabetic patients has been developed by Professor Byoung Heon Kang and his research team in the Department of ...

Stockholm University and SciLifeLab research uncovers how glucose transporters achieve specificity, bridging a long-standing ...

Citrate is essential for the metabolism and development of neurons. A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 plays a central role in this process and has previously been linked to a particularly ...
