Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

The passage of these molecules relies on specific transport proteins embedded in the membrane. Membrane transport proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they move, and they often ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from ... by EVs with and without the membrane protein to mice with ailing hearts.

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

This is accomplished with the aid of a protein-conducting channel (SEC61), which is able to transport proteins across the membrane or insert them into the membrane during synthesis.

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be? For example, plants need boron ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

The net movement of water from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This means osmosis is a special case of ...
