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 ...

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 ...

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

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 ...

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 ...

Their study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how a protein called Spinster homolog 1 (Spns1) helps transport ... them in a membrane bubble called ...
