Scripps Research scientists unlock new patterns of protein behavior in cell membranes (IMAGE)
Caption
To understand the role of a common atomic pattern that occurs in many different types of membrane proteins, Scripps Research scientists designed synthetic proteins that are more stable and easier to study in the lab. The image depicts common building blocks seen in nature (left and middle) versus the scientists’ “designer” protein (right). Credit: Marco Mravic, Scripps Research
