Recursive Alterations of the Relationship between Simple Membrane Geometry and Insertion of Amphiphilic Motifs

Recursive Alterations of the Relationship between Simple Membrane Geometry and Insertion of Amphiphilic Motifs

The shape and composition of a membrane directly regulate the localization, activity, and signaling properties of membrane associated proteins. Proteins that both sense and generate membrane curvature, e.g., through amphiphilic insertion motifs, potentially engage in recursive binding dynamics, wher...
