This dehydration reduces the size of Li⁺ and strengthens its electrostatic interaction with the membrane, ultimately enhancing its transport across the membrane. "Our findings provide a mechanistic ...

The study of peptide transport mechanisms and membrane proteins has gained considerable momentum as researchers unravel the molecular intricacies underlying nutrient uptake, intracellular ...

Membrane transporters constitute a vast class of proteins whose structure and function enable selective passage of substances through cell membranes, and as such they are the target of many drugs.

Previous investigations into Pi transporter families have relied almost exclusively on animal physiology and cellular assays to infer protein function and mechanism. By exploiting structural ...

In lignin biosynthesis and microbial conversion, small phenolic lignin precursors or degradation products cross membrane bilayers through an unidentified translocation mechanism prior to incorporation ...

Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...

Based on the mechanism of intracellular transport of membrane proteins revealed in this study, plants might regulate nutrient uptake and pollen structure by regulating the intracellular transport ...
