Biomimetic approaches to develo** membranes for separations have seen a renewed
interest in recent years. Biomimetic membranes incorporate biological elements or borrow …

Membrane proteins are key targets for pharmacological intervention because they are vital
for cellular function. Here, we analyze recent progress made in the understanding of the …

Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the
structure, function, and motion of proteins for students, faculty, and researchers at all levels …

Electron crystallography determines the structure of two-dimensional (2D) membrane
protein crystals and other 2D crystal systems. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy …

Surface layers (S-layers) are highly ordered coats of proteins localized on the cell surface of
many bacterial species. In these structures, one or more proteins form elementary units that …

In the last decade the importance of transmission electron microscopic studies has become
increasingly important with respect to the characterization of organic materials, ranging from …

Aptamers are oligonucleotide ligands, either RNA or ssDNA, selected for high-affinity
binding to molecular targets, such as small organic molecules, proteins or whole …

The study of crystals at atomic level by electrons–electron crystallography–is an important
complement to X-ray crystallography. There are two main advantages of structure …

Structural biology now plays a prominent role in addressing questions central to
understanding how excitable cells function. Although interest in the insights gained from the …

Electron crystallography of membrane proteins determines the structure of membrane-
