A saposin protein–lipid nanoparticle system stabilizes diverse, fragile membrane proteins in a lipid environment for structural and functional studies. A limiting factor in membrane protein ...

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2 ...

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2) is one such protein with an important role in cardiovascular health, but its mechanism of action on the phospholipid membrane was unknown.

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2 ...

The researchers were surprised to find that in Rhodospirillum two so-called porins – channel-like proteins that so-far were only known to be only responsible for the exchange of nutrients across the ...

Lp(a) lipoprotein binds proinflammatory oxidized phospholipids. We investigated whether levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) measured with use of monoclonal antibody E06 reflect the pre ...

An international team has discovered that the helical arrangement of porins and lipoprotein PapS is crucial for the curvature of the bacterium <i>Rhodospirillum rubrum</i>. This new mechanism of shape ...
