This study identifies YhdP as an envelope-spanning phospholipid-binding bridge that interacts with DedD to facilitate phospholipid transport in E. coli.

This study shows how a bacterial Rhesus transporter modifies a conserved ammonium pore to function as a reversible nitrogen valve through specific residue changes.

This study determines the structure and function of NeRh50, a Rh-family protein in Nitrosomonas europaea, revealing lipid associations and divergent ammonium transport properties compared to canonical Amt proteins.

This study identifies a second mobile region in mHORMADs that controls their conformation and function, showing its conservation across species.

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how vitrification affects the conformational ensemble of Trp-cage miniprotein and develops a thermodynamic inference framework to recover equilibrium populations from vitrified samples.

The paper characterizes two distinct TOC complexes in chloroplasts and non-photosynthetic plastids, revealing differences in receptor composition and Toc75's central role in assembly.

This paper identifies a novel open state of the LptDE translocon bound by a phage RBP, revealing potential for peptidomimetic inhibition and insights into phage resistance mechanisms.

The paper presents atomistic models of lysophospholipids from Campylobacter jejuni and evaluates their phase behavior and membrane properties using molecular dynamics simulations.

The paper introduces a faster-diffusing LPS model for Martini 2 and completes the Martini 3 LPS toolkit, enabling better simulation of membrane interactions and dynamics.

The paper identifies a conserved serine in UBE2D3 that, when phosphorylated by Aurora B, reduces UBE2D3 levels and affects early embryonic development in mice.
