Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, performing a huge array of functions from providing mechanical strength to molecular recognition & binding. They perform these...

The genetic code of viruses is typically protected by a spherical protein container. This protein capsid is assembled from hundreds of individual proteins in a spontaneous...

Nanodiscs (NDs) are discoidal lipid-protein aggregates composed by a lipid bilayer surrounded by a protein belt. NDs are suitable systems to investigate membrane protein...
