Structuring Membrane Proteins as Tools in Material Science

Mille C., Corkery R.W., YKI, Institure for Surface Chemistry, SE

Two membrane proteins derived from yeast, Yop1p and Rtn1p, have been engineered, heterogeneously expressed and purified. Both proteins are membrane spanning and can be found in all eukaryotes in which they are used for structural [...]

Monte Carlo Study of Models of Membrane Proteins

Connor T.P., Pagan D.L., Shiryayev A., Gunton J.D., Lehigh University, US

The crystallization of membrane proteins from solution is sensitive to the role of initial conditions. In order to understand this dependence, we report preliminary results for two models for membrane proteins, each with short range [...]
