Direct measurements of trafficking kinetics between organelles of the secretory pathway suggest that lipid-driven membrane domains laterally sort proteins during membrane traffic.

Cryo-EM structures reveal how the peptidisc scaffold can adapt to different membrane proteins, establishing it as a universal membrane mimetic to stabilize membrane proteins in solution.

The damage of the bacterial cell envelope is found to be only a secondary effect of the antimicrobial activity of lactoferricin derivatives.

Arc-shaped PFO oligomers consisting of at least four subunits can insert into the membrane in a kinetically controlled process opening a transmembrane pore, whereby post-insertion growth may ultimately lead to formation of a complete ring.

The pro-apoptotic BH3-protein Bim contains two distinct binding sites for anti-apoptotic proteins that together confer resistance of Bim/Bcl-2 and Bim/Bcl-XL complexes to BH3-mimetic drugs under development for use in humans.

Dimerization promotes nonlinear kinetics in PIP5K-dependent lipid phosphorylation reactions.

Wing transparency in mimetic butterflies and moths is achieved by an unexpected diversity of structural features, and both structures and light transmission properties of wings are under selection for convergence.

A second anti-apoptotic protein binding site in PUMA confers resistance to BH3 mimetic drugs and binds the protein to membranes.

An exceedingly low speed limit was estimated for a helical hairpin formation by analyzing hours-long, incessant structural transitions.
