Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins,
endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …

Membrane lipids interact with proteins in a variety of ways, ranging from providing a stable
membrane environment for proteins to being embedded in to detailed roles in complicated …

The cellular membrane constitutes one of the most fundamental compartments of a living
cell, where key processes such as selective transport of material and exchange of …

The fluid mosaic model of Singer and Nicolson (1972) is a commonly used representation of
the cell membrane structure and dynamics. However a number of features, the result of four …

Cell membranes become highly curved during membrane trafficking, cytokinesis, infection,
immune response, or cell motion. Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain proteins with their …

The importance of curvature as a structural feature of biological membranes has been
recognized for many years and has fascinated scientists from a wide range of different …

The dynamics of constituents and the surface response of cellular membranes—also in
connection to the binding of various particles and macromolecules to the membrane—are …

Many cellular processes rely on precise and timely deformation of the cell membrane. While
many proteins participate in membrane reshaping and scission, usually in highly specialized …

How endocytic pits are built in clathrin-and caveolin-independent endocytosis still remains
poorly understood. Recent insight suggests that different forms of clathrin-independent …

Computational 'microscopy'refers to the use of computational resources to simulate the
dynamics of a molecular system. Tuned to cell membranes, this computational …
