A Vanderbilt-led research team has made a significant breakthrough in developing advanced dialysis membranes using atomically thin materials like graphene. These innovative membranes, called ...

Researchers develop graphene-based dialysis membranes that enhance filtration efficiency while reducing protein loss for improved treatment.

Jumbo phages utilize a complex protein import system, with Imp1 as a key gatekeeper, to transport proteins into their ...

Proteins can also refold on the trans side of the pore after passing through. In another study using this technology, we actually have to unfold a protein twice: once before it can go through the ...

The nuclear pore is a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is ...

Members of the RTX family of protein toxins are functionally conserved among an assortment of bacterial pathogens. By disrupting host cell integrity through their pore-forming and cytolytic ...

The method cannot be used to decode protein sequences without a known reference for comparison, however. That’s because not only does the amino acid at the pore’s entrance affect the ion current, but ...

Nuclear pore complexes are the guardians of the human ... Those channels are filled with specialized proteins called FG-nucleoporins, which act as bouncers at the entrance door.

HIV capsid achieves this by mimicking the properties of human proteins. It is therefore attracted to the channel instead of being excluded. However, the authors highlight that at its widest dimension, ...

Proteins containing disordered domains perform many important ... The second focuses on selective transport through the nuclear pore complex. We are use microscopy, nuclear magentic resonance and ...

The nuclear pore is a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is ...
