Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...

Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading to generation of electrical signals. Opening (gating) of ion ...

Feb. 18, 2025 — Viruses, like those that cause COVID-19 or HIV, are formidable opponents once they invade our bodies. Antiviral treatments strive to block a virus or halt its replication ...
