Membranes are essential cellular organelles. They not only define cells and other organelles, but also are critical in the cell function by selectively regulating the passage of molecules by acting as a matrix for other signaling molecules, and as conduits of information transfe…

fromAdvances in chemistry series
The fundamental membrane processes of living cells are electrical in nature. Each process involves charge movement in a specialized protein structure, where part of the protein forms a channel for the conduction of ions. A 5-year program initiated by the Office of Naval Research…
This volume provides recent advances in the field of biophysics of membrane proteins. Chapters are divided into several parts: detailing biochemistry and functional analysis, experimental and theoretical structural determinations, membrane protein dynamics, and conformation stud…
SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most dangerous threats to humanity in recent history. At the onset of this global crisis, scientists quickly turned to vaccine development as the primary focus of research, while drug discovery and development has trai…
The major outer membrane protein, MOMP, is the main protein in the outer membrane of pathogenic Campylobacter bacteria. Infection with Campylobacter is the principle cause of severe enteritis and untreated may result in non-trauma related paralysis. Studies have shown, that MOMP…
