SNARE Proteins Mediate Fusion Between Proteoliposomes | ||
To investigate the molecular mechanism of membrane proteins, their incorporation into the lipid bilayer of vesicles is required. We have established a LEGO-type system, based on the SNARE protein family (exocytosis), to build vesicles containing more than one membrane protein.
This work was carried out in the group of Ass. Prof. Christoph von Ballmoos. References:
