Bacterial methane oxidation using the enzyme particulate methane monooxygenase
(pMMO) contributes to the removal of environmental methane, a potent greenhouse gas …

A major obstacle in the study of membrane proteins is their solubilization in a stable and
active conformation when using detergents. Here, we explored a detergent-free approach to …

The scientific study of protein surfactant interactions goes back more than a century, and has
