An alternative interpretation of molecular structure of plasma membrane has been postulated by Hilleir and Hoffman (1953). They have suggested that biological membranes may have a non-lamellar pattern, consisting instead of a mosaic of globular subunits known as micelles, which have a lipid core an...
This exceptional ability of the neuron is mainly due to the composition and characteristics of its plasma membrane. In this review, starting with a description of the general principles of cell membrane organization, on which the nerve cell membrane structure is based, we describe the structures ...
What is the main function of the cell membrane? What are the basic components that make up the cell membrane? cell membrane, thinmembranethat surrounds every livingcell, delimiting the cell from theenvironmentaround it. Enclosed by this cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane) are the...
Several characteristics of this dimerization reaction are consistent with the proposal that at least a noncovalent dimer of large chains exists in the native enzyme. These conclusions are discussed in the context of a specific description for the molecular mechanism of active transport. 展开 ...
To confirm that staining represented the merozoite surface and not internal organelles such as the inner membrane complex (IMC, a cytoskeleton like structure that sits immediately under the plasma membrane in mature merozoites), IFAs were repeated with purifiedP. knowlesimerozoites using both permeabil...
The Cell Surface Membrane The cell surface membrane is a fluid double-layer of phospholipid molecules (A) that jostle about to form a 'lipid sea' and protein 'islands' (C, F and G) float around in this 'sea'. Click here for a more detailed description of the membrane and an ...

The influence of some cations on an adenosine triphosphatase from peripheral nerves. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 23, 394–401 (1957). The first description of an ATP-driven ion pump, which is now known as the Na+/K+-ATPase. A paper worth a Nobel prize 40 years later. CAS PubMed Google ...
The name of these modules and their brief description is provided in Table 1. Each module has sub-modules, which can take either sequence or structure of the peptide as input. The ‘Structure Modification’ sub-module (implemented in all the modules) takes peptide structure as an input and ...
plasma membrane. Ric-8A engages a specific conformation of Gα at multiple interfaces to form a complex that is stabilized by phosphorylation within a Ric-8A segment that connects two Gα binding sites. The C-terminus of Gα is ejected from its beta sheet core, thereby dismantling the GDP ...
