Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

In this diagram of G-protein-coupled receptor activation, the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits are shown with distinct relationships to the plasma membrane. After exchange of GDP with GTP on the ...

The outermost membrane that encloses the cell as a whole is called the “plasma membrane. ” All cellular membranes have a general structure comprising a bilayer of molecules having affinity to both fat ...

Structure and dynamics of asymmetric membranes In this session we will seek to obtain physicochemical insights from lipid-only plasma membrane mimics. The session will include minimum realistic mimics ...
