Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins
Membrane proteins are vital for life. They remove waste products and bring essential nutrients into the cell. They help maintain homeostasis and are vital for sensing, sending and receiving information and for the propagation of action potentials. This meeting brought selected principle investigators from around the world to the Janelia Research Campus to showcase what is known about different membrane protein families from a structural perspective and to discuss the future directions of membrane protein structural biology.
