Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

The identification of protein interactions has been greatly simplified by the invention of yeast-based screening assays such as the yeast two-hybrid system. However, yeast two-hybrid assays cannot ...

Proteins interacting with cell membranes play a vital role in countless biological processes, from how cells communicate to ...

Most drugs target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to alter the transport of ions and molecules and the transduction of cellular signals. The Diver lab explores the biological ...
