Integral membrane proteins carry out essential functions in the cell, and their activities are often modulated by specific protein-lipid interactions in the membrane. Here, we elucidate the intricate ...

The genes that build the cartilage of fish gills were repurposed to build the cartilage in mammals’ outer ears ...

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 ...
