Lipids are emerging as key regulators of membrane protein structure and activity. These effects can be attributed either to the modification of bilayer properties (thickness, curvature and surface ...

One of the key features in the evolution of more complex organisms is the emergence of allosteric regulation. Allostery is a process by which a protein’s activity can be modulated by binding an ...

The photosynthetic systems of green plants have developed a dual function of efficient light collection under low light intensity and photoprotection under intense sunshine to prevent the oxidative ...

Lipogenesis is the process involving the synthesis of fatty acids or triglycerides, which is controlled and regulated by a number of factors in the body. The process is stimulated by a diet high in ...
