Membrane Curvature Sensing by Amphipathic Helices Is Modulated by the Surrounding Protein Backbone.

Membrane curvature is involved in numerous biological pathways like vesicle trafficking, endocytosis or nuclear pore complex assembly. In addition to its topological role, membrane curvature is sensed by specific proteins, enabling the coordination of biological processes in space and time. Amongst...
