Curved membranes are key features of intracellular organelles, and their generation
involves dynamic protein complexes. Here we describe the fundamental mechanisms such …

Cellular membranes self-assemble from and interact with various molecular species. Each
molecule locally shapes the lipid bilayer, the soft elastic core of cellular membranes. The …

Membrane-sculpting proteins shape the morphology of cell membranes and facilitate
remodeling in response to physiological and environmental cues. Complexes of the …

The formation of lateral microdomains is emerging as a central organizing principle in
bacterial membranes. These microdomains are targets of antibiotic development and have …

Biological membranes (biomembranes) are one of the most complicated structures that
allow life to exist. Investigating their structure, dynamics, and function is crucial for advancing …

Cellular membranes are highly dynamic in shape. They can rapidly and precisely regulate
their shape to perform various cellular functions. The protein's ability to sense membrane …

Eukaryotic cells contain membranes with various curvatures, from the near-plane plasma
membrane to the highly curved membranes of organelles, vesicles, and membrane …

Lipid membrane nanodomains or lipid rafts are 10–200 nm diameter size cholesterol-and
sphingolipid-enriched domains of the plasma membrane, gathering many proteins with …

The sheet‐like lipid bilayer is the fundamental structural component of all cell membranes.
Its building blocks are phospholipids and cholesterol. Their amphiphilic structure …

The influenza A M2 homotetrameric channel consists of four transmembrane (TM) and four
amphipathic helices (AHs). This viral proton channel is suggested to form clusters in the …
