G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute by far the largest family of transmembrane cell-surface proteins involved in signal transduction and are the most important targets for the development of novel therapeutic compounds. Many processes mediated by ...
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of neurodegenerative diseases in humans, characterized by the progressive accumulation and aggregation of amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta) in brain regions subserving memory and cognition. These 39-43 amino acids lo ...
Gamma-secretase is an intramembrane-cleaving aspartyl protease required for the normal development of metazoans because it processes Notch within cellular membranes to release its signaling domain. More than two dozen additional substrates of diverse funct ...
Membrane protein research depends largely on the availability of functional protein in an instrumental set-up for application of biophysical investigations. We used an in vitro synthesis strategy in the presence of a solid supported lipid membrane as a new ...
Structural information on membrane proteins is sparse, yet they represent an important class of proteins that is encoded by about 30% of all genes. Progress has primarily been achieved with bacterial proteins, but efforts to solve the structure of eukaryot ...
gamma-Secretase is an unusual protease with an intramembrane catalytic site that cleaves many type I membrane proteins, including the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) precursor (APP) and the Notch receptor. Genetic and biochemical studies have identified four ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large class of seven transmembrane proteins, which bind selectively agonists or antagonists with important consequences for cellular signaling and function. Comprehension of the mol. details of ligand bindin ...
Gamma-secretase is a member of an unusual class of proteases with intramembrane catalytic sites. This enzyme cleaves many type I membrane proteins, including the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) precursor (APP) and the Notch receptor. Biochemical and genetic s ...
Electron crystallography and atomic force microscopy allow the study of two-dimensional membrane protein crystals. While electron crystallography provides atomic scale three-dimensional density maps, atomic force microscopy gives insight into the surface s ...
Gamma-secretase is a member of a new class of proteases with an intramembrane catalytic site and cleaves numerous type I membrane proteins, including the amyloid beta-protein precursor (APP) and the Notch receptor. Biochemical and genetic studies have iden ...
