Tandem facial amphiphiles for membrane protein stabilization.
We describe a new type of synthetic amphiphile that is intended to support biochemical characterization of intrinsic membrane proteins. Members of this new family displayed favorable behavior with four of five membrane proteins tested, and these amphiphiles formed relatively small micelles.
متن کاملSteroid-based facial amphiphiles for stabilization and crystallization of membrane proteins.
Amphiphile selection is a critical step for structural studies of membrane proteins (MPs). We have developed a family of steroid-based facial amphiphiles (FAs) that are structurally distinct from conventional detergents and previously developed FAs. The unique FAs stabilize MPs and form relatively small protein-detergent complexes (PDCs), a property considered favorable for MP crystallization. ...
متن کاملNovel tripod amphiphiles for membrane protein analysis.
Integral membrane proteins play central roles in controlling the flow of information and molecules across membranes. Our understanding of membrane protein structures and functions, however, is seriously limited, mainly due to difficulties in handling and analysing these proteins in aqueous solution. The use of a detergent or other amphipathic agents is required to overcome the intrinsic incompa...
متن کاملTripod Amphiphiles for Membrane Protein Manipulation.
Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) are crucial biological components, mediating the transfer of material and information between cells and their environment. Many IMPs have proven to be difficult to isolate and study. High-resolution structural information on this class of proteins is limited, largely because of difficulties in generating soluble forms of such proteins that retain native folding...

sequences is therefore important for characterizing immune responses, but it cannot describe the state of cells within a given clone. Teichmann and colleagues present TraCeR, a tool that allows TCR sequences to be reconstructed from single-cell RNA sequencing data from T cells. The approach combines immune profiling with information on fate and function based on the expression of thousands of g...
