The paper identifies a lipid-binding site in the dimeric E. coli DedA protein YqjA through structural modeling and functional assays, showing lipid binding enhances thermal stability and is essential for function.

This study investigates the role of chloride ions in serotonin transport, showing they do not drive uptake but stabilize transporter conformations by enhancing sodium binding and helix packing.

The paper determines the structure of cornichon receptors bound to an SLC transporter and shows how they couple membrane adaptation with cargo selection during ER export.

EncoMPASS provides a database of membrane proteins analyzed through structure, sequence, and symmetry, enabling study of their properties and evolution.

This paper introduces position anchoring in AlignMe to improve pairwise sequence alignment of membrane proteins by incorporating functional or structural information, enhancing accuracy while maintaining reproducibility.

The paper introduces MemSTATS, a benchmark set for membrane protein symmetries, and evaluates four symmetry detection algorithms on it.
