Translocation and insertion of precursor proteins into isolated outer membranes of mitochondria [PDF]
Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub- mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer

Functional implications of the exon 9 splice insert in GluK1 kainate receptors
Kainate receptors are key modulators of synaptic transmission and plasticity in the central nervous system. Different kainate receptor isoforms with distinct spatiotemporal expressions have been identified in the brain.

Inhibition by Commercial Aminoglycosides of Human Connexin Hemichannels Expressed in Bacteria
In addition to gap junctional channels that mediate cell-to-cell communication, connexins form hemichannels that are present at the plasma membrane. Since hemichannels are permeable to small hydrophilic compounds, including metabolites and signaling ...

Modular detergents tailor the purification and structural analysis of membrane proteins including G-protein coupled receptors [PDF]
Detergents enable the purification of membrane proteins and are indispensable reagents instructural biology. Even though a large variety of detergents have been developed in the lastcentury, the challenge remains to identify guidelines that allowfine ...

Feline coronavirus drug inhibits the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 and blocks virus replication
Coronavirus main protease is essential for viral polyprotein processing and replication. Here Vuong et al. report efficient inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication by the dipeptide-based protease inhibitor GC376 and its parent GC373, which were originally ...

Diffusing proteins on a fluctuating membrane: Analytical theory and simulations
Using analytical calculations and computer simulations we consider both the lateral diffusion of a membrane protein and the fluctuation spectrum of the membrane in which the protein is embedded.

A new approach to immunoFET operation [PDF]
A new method is presented for the detection of an immunological reaction taking place in a membrane, which covers the gate area of an ISFET. By stepwise changing the electrolyte concentration of the sample solution, a transient diffusion of ions through ...
