Inserted into the lipid bilayer -- which mimics a cell membrane -- are modeled structures of CopA proteins, with a section (in pink) that resides inside the lipid and sections above the lipid ...

Schematic of protein activation and lipid membrane remodeling. A density change of active receptors drives the system towards an active configuration in which the lipid bilayer shrinks around ...

He then described in both words and diagrams how the lipid bilayer results in a three-layer image. As it turns out, the inner and outer edges of the bilayer have a different composition than the ...

and function has gained momentum as its crucial role in understanding cellular lipid profiles, which are fundamental for ...
