There is much interest in developing synthetic analogues of biological membrane channels
1 with high efficiency and exquisite selectivity for transporting ions and molecules. Bottom-up …

Morphological plasticity of biological membrane is critical for cellular life, as cells need to
quickly rearrange their membranes. Yet, these rearrangements are constrained in two ways. …

Biological membrane fission requires protein-driven stress. The guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase)
dynamin builds up membrane stress by polymerizing into a helical collar that …

Fusion and fission drive all vesicular transport. Although topologically opposite, these
reactions pass through the same hemi-fusion/fission intermediate 1 , 2 , characterized by a ‘stalk’ …

Mitochondria form tubular networks that undergo coordinated cycles of fission and fusion.
Emerging evidence suggests that a direct yet unresolved interaction of the mechanoenzymatic …

Detailed differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), steady‐state tryptophan fluorescence and
far‐UV and visible CD studies, together with enzymatic assays, were carried out to monitor …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous cell-wide membrane network. Network
formation has been associated with proteins producing membrane curvature and fusion, such as …

Specific protein-lipid interactions lead to a gradual recruitment of AuTophaGy-related (ATG)
proteins to the nascent membrane during autophagosome (AP) formation. ATG3, a key …

Cellular membranes define the functional geometry of intracellular space. Formation of new
membrane compartments and maintenance of complex organelles require division and …

The shape of enveloped viruses depends critically on an internal protein matrix, yet it
remains unclear how the matrix proteins control the geometry of the envelope membrane. We …
