Hi all, This edition of the Membrane Digest is packed with a dense but (hopefully!) interesting mix: efflux pumps, artificial membranes, a pinch of photoswitchable lipids, and a dash of sci-fi and polar-themed miscellany. Grab your popcorn 🍿: lights, camera 📽️, action 🎬 !
Where spotlight is put on the molecular determinants behind MP / membrane binding of substrates, inhibitors and modulators. Structure / function at its best … Gold medal to all authors ! 🥇⛷️⛸️🥌🥇
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and enjoy a MD-doped membrane digest : let’s dive into the complexity of membranes and their effects on membrane proteins !
A special edition of the Membrane’s Digest. Below, you’ll find highlights from a recent Methods in Enzymology issue that consolidates contributions from researchers across disciplines. It provides a thorough compilation of protocols, theoretical insights, and innovative methods for studying efflux pumps. Kudos to Ben Luisi for leading this effort : this edition is a practical resource for scientists in biochemistry, structural biology, and related fields.
in this week's digest, a symphony of articles where MPs compose the cellular soundtrack within membranes !
After a couple of month of hibernation like a marmotte (;-D), the Membrane’s Digest is back … This week, how Proteins Bend, Bind, and Move Their Shapes to Rule Life (and Maybe Even kiss ?)
Au menu ce soir: Red Bull (taurine), Oyster, Rice and Miso => all the ingredients reunited for a shoot of euphoric dopaminergic spikes !
All roads lead to Rome, and to Membrane Proteins !
In this week’s Membrane’s Digest : detergent-free and membrane-less systems, from peptidiscs to polymers, in situ structures and and membraneless kinetics, all try keeping proteins native while avoiding the soap !
🎃 Trick or treats? 👻 🍬🍩🍬 All treats, of course !!! 🍪🍬🍭 from in silico to in vitro methods, microbio tales from porins to pumps, and even a handful of Nobel prizes (Ig or real! 🧠✨)
