Membrane curvature sensing by amphipathic helices is an emergent property of the ensemble of molecules and membrane sites. New data suggest that individual molecules do not experience stronger binding ...

Certain molecules bind tightly to the surface of ice, creating a curved interface that can halt further ice growth. Some insects, plants, and sea-dwelling creatures contain protein molecules of this ...

H-NS is a protein of the bacterial nucleoid involved in DNA compaction and transcription regulation. In vivo, H-NS selectively silences specific genes of the bacterial chromosome. However, many ...
