At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins.

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...
