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 ...

The study results, published June 5 in The EMBO Journal, shed new light, researchers say, on the way the altered mitochondrial membranes found in people with metabolic diseases such as Barth ...

Most drugs target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to alter the transport of ions and molecules and the transduction of cellular signals. The Diver lab explores the biological ...

Transport across membranes All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively ... DNA and the production of proteins DNA carries the genetic information in the cells of all living ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface ... as well as regulation of transport domain movement. Cytokinetic-based rings for self-division of synthetic cells ...

The Membrane Transport Biology group are interested in the relationship ... we aim to integrate the function of these proteins into the cell biological system.

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.
