Lipid molecules bound to membrane proteins are resolved in some high-resolution
structures of membrane proteins. An analysis of these structures provides a framework …

An effective environmental force constant is introduced to quantify the molecular resilience
(or its opposite,“softness”) of a protein structure and relate it to biological function and …

In the history of science and technology, researchers have always undertaken endeavors to
enhance the degree of “directness of measurement”. With “directness of measurement”, we …

Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the
structure, function, and motion of proteins for students, faculty, and researchers at all levels …

▪ Abstract Bacteriorhodopsin is the best understood ion transport protein and has become a
paradigm for membrane proteins in general and transporters in particular. Models up to 2.5 …

Within the cell membrane glycosphingolipids and cholesterol cluster together in distinct
domains or lipid rafts, along with glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in …

Heterogenous nucleation on small molecule crystals causes a monoclinic crystal form of
bacteriorhodopsin (BR) in which trimers of this membrane protein pack differently than in …

Abstract Background: Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) from Halobacterium salinarum is a proton
pump that converts the energy of light into a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. The …

In spite of their common hypersaline environment, halophilic archaea are surprisingly
different in their nutritional demands and metabolic pathways. The metabolic diversity of …
