A team of researchers studied the properties of membranes to understand how these cellular structures influenced the chemistry of life on Earth as it began. How life arose remains a looming question ...

Membrane proteins are proteins that are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes. Membrane proteins account ...

New findings have far-reaching implications in the general understanding of disease, the design of drug delivery methods, and many other biological applications that require specific assumptions about ...

How life arose remains a looming question in science that researchers are seeking to answer by studying the features shared among life today. Everything alive is made up of cells, and what made the ...

Researchers analyzed which molecules can pass through membranes to learn why all life today uses building blocks with a certain “handedness” How life arose remains a looming question in science that ...
