Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010
Separation of cells and organelles by bilayer membranes is a fundamental principle of life. Cellular membranes contain a baffling variety of proteins, which fulfil vital functions as receptors and signal transducers, channels and transporters, motors and anchors.

Membrane phosphoinositides and protein–membrane interactions
Amino Acids, 2013Proteins with polybasic clusters bind to negatively charged phosphoinositides at the cell membrane. In this review, I have briefly discussed the types of phosphoinositides naturally found on membrane surfaces and how they recruit protein complexes for carrying out the process of signal transduction.

Lipid Membranes for Membrane Proteins
2014The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of membrane proteins requires the setup of an accurate representation of lipid bilayers. This chapter describes the setup of a lipid bilayer system from scratch using generally available tools, starting with a definition of the lipid molecule POPE, generation of a lipid bilayer, energy minimization, MD simulation,

The cell membrane and membrane proteins
2018This chapter talks about biological membranes that have a lipid bilayer structure made up of a variety of different lipids held together by noncovalent bonds. It shows that lipids are arranged with their hydrophobic tails pointing to the middle of the bilayer and their hydrophilic sections to the outside.

Proteomics of Membrane Proteins
2003Publisher Summary The chapter focuses on the proteomics of the membrane proteins. As an increasing number of genomes are sequenced and a growing number of membrane proteins are identified, the gap in knowledge about the structure and function of these proteins is likely to increase. Moreover, in the post-genomic era, with proteomics emerging as a new

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1999
Investigating the in vitro refolding of proteins that naturally reside in biological membranes is a notoriously difficult task. Biophysical studies on model systems are beginning to provide a sound physical basis for membrane protein folding that should help to alleviate this problem. Highlights of these studies include insights into the interaction of

Microseparation of membrane proteins
Journal of Separation Science, 2009AbstractMembrane proteins are generally of natural low abundance and insoluble to aqueous solutions. Thus, investigation of membrane proteins is relatively hampered since efficient separation of membrane proteins are rather challenging. Microseparation approaches certainly play an essential role in fulfilling such demanding investigations due to their ...

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2006
In the world of membrane proteins, topology defines an important halfway house between the amino-acid sequence and the fully folded three-dimensional structure. Although the concept of membrane-protein topology dates back at least 30 years, recent advances in the field of translocon-mediated membrane-protein assembly, proteome-wide studies of membrane ...

Trends in Biotechnology, 1997
Membrane proteins perform many of the essential functions required for life. They are often the targets of medicinal drugs and have many potential uses in biotechnological processes. Therefore our ability to understand them and manipulate their functions is both important and necessary to enable protein engineers to create 'designer' membrane proteins (

Proteins of the synaptic membrane
Neurochemical Research, 1977The purpose of this communication is to provide a survey of contempory information concerning the composition, disposition, and functional significance of proteins in or on synaptic membranes derived from rat brain synaptosomes. Special emphasis is placed on their content of glycoproteins, fibrous proteins, proteins susceptible to rapid phosphorylation
