Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe ... relies on natural biophysical properties to form and function. In living cells, however, many proteins are not free to move.

Researchers have revealed the structure ... cell's cytoplasm. The Damme group at Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel seeks to elucidate the function of specific proteins on the lysosome's membrane.

Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.

In LLPS, liquid condensates—or membrane-less organelles—that ... synaptic physiology at the intersection of structure and ...

Not only does the cytoskeleton appear to give structure and a degree of solidity to the cell, but it also appears to interact with the plasma membrane while helping to guide proteins to very specific ...

Ultrastructural studies of centipede and other myriapod ovaries reveal direct soma-germline contact across the basement ...

At the molecular level, we now believe that these transporters function as oligomeric complexes at the cell membrane, and that they are regulated primarily through phosphorylation, protein ...

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique ...

The gas exchange system is made from key parts, each of which has a different function. Bronchus The ... form a solution then pass through the cell membrane. Need some extra resources to support ...

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex ...

Within every cell (except red blood cells) is a nucleus -- a sphere-like structure separated from the rest of the cell by a membrane ... proteins and have no known function.

Knockdowns of Spigot orthologs in worms, flies, and human cells produced consistent disruptions in membrane-related functions. The revealed LPD-3 structure provides a foundation for further ...
