Membrane Protein Function: Computational Strategy Illuminated
New Computational Strategy Sheds Light on Membrane Protein Function Membrane proteins orchestrate essential cellular tasks, from moving substances across the lipid bilayer to transmitting signals and aiding cell-to-cell interactions. When these proteins malfunction, it can lead to diseases including cancer, making them prime targets for therapeutics. Yet studying their behavior is notoriously challenging because their…

Computational Strategy Illuminates Membrane Protein Function
New Computational Approach Sheds Light on Membrane Protein Architecture Membrane proteins sit at the critical interface of the cell, governing substance transport, signal transduction, reaction acceleration, and cell–cell interactions. When these proteins misbehave, disease can follow, making them prime targets for therapies. Yet studying their behavior in the lipid bilayer has long posed a challenge.…
