Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...

Understanding the best ways to get a membrane protein to its destination in a cell is crucial, and the best method to make this happen is still unclear. Cell-free systems allow for interactions ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Hitting targets embedded within the cell membrane has long been difficult for drug developers due to the membrane's challenging biochemical properties. Now, chemists have demonstrated new ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...
