Receptors and membrane biology are critical areas of study in understanding how cells communicate and interact with their environment. Receptors, particularly G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs ...

Like transport proteins, receptor proteins are specific and ... membranes that surround various organelles. In such cells, the plasma membrane is part of an extensive endomembrane system that ...

Thomas Sollner (University of Munich): "The complex organization of eucaryotic cells into various membrane ... This is the first mitochondrial outer-membrane protein fulfilling the criteria proposed ...

His team then extracted the receptor from the cell membrane and forged an initial understanding of ... This family is now known as G-protein-coupled receptors, and the studies by Lefkowitz and Kobilka ...

EPFL researchers have developed a computational method to explicitly consider the impact of water while designing membrane receptors with enhanced stability and signaling, paving the way for novel ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs ... The extracellular region of an aGPCR extends from the cell membrane into space outside the cell, where it can bind to molecules and receptors ...

Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their environments-water, lipid membranes, or other condensed phases-are critical to their ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a group of cell-surface sensors associated with many body functions and diseases. However, they are not yet sufficiently understood to be exploited for ...
