Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

Water solubility and structural stability are key merits for proteins defined by the primary
sequence and 3D-conformation. Their manipulation represents important aspects of the …

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is the second most abundant glycerophospholipid in
eukaryotic cells. The existence of four only partially redundant biochemical pathways that …

Motivation: A variety of tools are available to predict the topology of transmembrane proteins.
To date no independent evaluation of the performance of these tools has been published. A …

The various membranes of eukaryotic cells differ in composition, but it is at present unclear if
this results in differences in physical properties. The sequences of transmembrane domains …

A specialized database (DB) for Arabidopsis membrane proteins, ARAMEMNON, was
designed that facilitates the interpretation of gene and protein sequence data by integrating …

Increasing evidence suggests that biological membranes can be laterally subdivided into
domains enriched in specific lipid and protein components and that these domains may be …

Membrane proteins perform some of the most important functions in the cell, including the
regulation of cell signaling through surface receptors, cell–cell interactions, and the …

This review describes the recent knowledge about tightly bound lipids in membrane protein
structures and deduces general principles of the binding interactions. Bound lipids are …

Biochemical data have shown that specific, tightly bound phospholipids are essential for
activity of the cytochrome bc 1 complex (QCR), an integral membrane protein of the …
