Molecular mechanisms of protein transport to membranes and membrane proteins

In all cells, proteins have to reach their final destination with high precision and specialized transport systems ensure that mis-targeting is avoided. A large variety of secretory and membrane proteins use the signal recognition particle (SRP) for their transport. We study the molecular mechanisms of how the SRP system participates in protein transport. In addition, after their insertion into...

Special issue: Membrane Dynamics Biophysical properties of lipids and dynamic membranes

The lipid bilayer is a 3D assembly with a rich variety of physical features that modulate cell signaling and protein function. Lateral and transverse forces within the membrane are significant and change rapidly as the membrane is bent or stretched and as new constituents are added, removed or chemically modified. Recent studies have revealed how differences in structure between the two leaflet...
