Structural determination of respiratory membrane protein complexes by X-ray crystallography. Membrane proteins form only 0.3% of the available protein structures in the protein data bank (PDB), yet 30% of the proteins in the human genome and 50% of human drug targets are membrane proteins. We have managed to increase the success rate through rational screening and development of new crystallization screens, with downstream implications for basic and medical research.

Membrane proteins form only 0.3% of the available protein structures in the protein data bank (PDB), yet 30% of the proteins in the human genome and 50% of human drug targets are membrane proteins. We have managed to increase the success rate through rational screening and development of new crystallization screens, with downstream implications for basic and medical research. Results from this proposal will receive international recognition and will encourage more research in this field, attracting international funding, and create new research opportunities.
