The secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells is crucial for maintaining cellular function and physiological activities, as it ...

Researchers have managed to modify a class of proteins to give them the ability to transport and store electricity. These ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane. Botanists have come to understand the channels and ...

Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) have determined the structure of one member of a family of proteins ...

Scientists uncovered how cells package and send proteins to their correct destinations, a process essential for healthy ...

This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...

A research group has found a new class of proteins in the red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae that are involved in moving proteins across the membranes of chloroplasts -- subcompartments that conduct ...

This project has reached full capacity for the current term. Please check back next semester for updates. Many biological molecules are sensitive to changes in pH and thus changes of pH often cause ...
