Caveolin-1 is the most important protein found in caveolae, which are cell surface invaginations
of the plasma membrane that act as signaling platforms. A single point mutation in the …

Liposomes are an important tool and have gained much attention for their promise as an
effective means of delivering small therapeutic compounds to targeted sites. In an effort to …

The human adenosine A2a receptor (A2aR) tunes its function by forming homo‐oligomers
and hetero‐oligomers with other G protein‐coupled receptors, but the biophysical …

A significant hurdle in obtaining biophysical information on membrane proteins is developing
a successful strategy for their reconstitution into a suitable membrane mimic. In particular, …

N‐linked glycosylation is one type of posttranslational modification that proteins undergo
during expression. The following describes the effects of N‐linked glycosylation on high‐level …

… The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be
considered as potential competing interests: Monica D. Rieth reports equipment, drugs, or …

Anaerobic gut fungi reside in the digestive tract of large herbivores where they enable the
digestion of resilient plant biomass into fermentable sugars. It is likely that the membrane …

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack a persistent defined structure in the absence of
biomolecular interactions. In the early days of the protein structure-function paradigm, solving …

In this article, an approach to teaching molecular biophysics is described. The organization
and course content has been carefully chosen and curated so that fundamental ideas in …

Membrane proteins represent a class of proteins that are difficult targets to characterize. Their
structural and functional characterization requires that they first be produced at quantities …
