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 ...

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.

Regarding this situation, Akihiro Kusumi has proposed that the functions of the plasma membrane are regulated by the cytoskeleton, upon part of which the plasma membrane rests. Not only does the ...

In order to provide a cell with energy, these molecules have to pass across the cell membrane, which functions as a barrier — but not an impassable one. Like the exterior walls of a house ...

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.

spanning tissues to cells to high-resolution structures, and exploits a range of biochemical, structural, biophysical, and physiological approaches to address questions concerning mechanisms and ...

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 ...

But understanding the structure and interactions of cholesterol ... implications for understanding diseases related to cell membrane function, particularly cancer, where membrane organization ...

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 ...

This specialized cytoskeletal structure is located below the cell membrane and consists of numerous ... that paralemmin-1's ability to fulfill its function depends on a single tryptophan amino ...

Our research focus is currently on ER receptor complexes and adhesion protein interactions, and broadly on the structural biology of proteins, with a variety of biophysical, biochemical, and cell ...
