The role of hydrophobic matching on transmembrane helix packing in cells

The role of hydrophobic matching on transmembrane helix packing in cells

Folding and packing of membrane proteins are highly influenced by the lipidic component of the membrane. Here, we explore how the hydrophobic mismatch (the difference between the hydrophobic span of a transmembrane protein region and the hydrophobic thickness of the lipid membrane around the protein...
