Some evidence suggests that the 46 kDa receptor is the major functional membrane form of ER [ 44]; however, the precise functions of the truncated ER-αs are still under investigation.
Neuron-glia interactions establish functional membrane domains along myelinated axons.
Fully compatible with commercial membrane-fabrication processes, this new technique is believed to be the first example of organic nanotubes fabricated into a functional membrane over macroscopic distances.
There was an interaction between l-Glutamin and incubation time on functional membrane integrity (P < 0.05).
FAM2-LV induced high-level and functional membrane expression of the transgenic antibody in a nonsecretory B-cell line.
Recent advances in experimental and computational methods are now being translated into the design of functional membrane proteins.
Potentiometric sodium ion sensors were developed using a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) functional membrane deposited on an electrochemically deposited internal layer of Poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (Poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene
Our expression platform using synthetic codon-optimized gene and mammalian stable cell lines is feasible to produce milligram-scale functional membrane transporter for further biophysical and biochemical studies.
Recent applications include the design of novel functional membrane and soluble proteins, proteins incorporating non-biological components and protein combinatorial libraries.
The incorporation of functional membrane proteins (MPs) or peptides allows the transfer of biological properties to liposomes and imparts them with improved circulation, increased targeting, and efficient intracellular delivery.
Here we review recently developed techniques available to produce functional membrane proteins, and discuss amphipols, nanodisc and styrene maleic acid lipid particle (SMALP) technologies that can be exploited alongside cell-free expression of membrane proteins.
