Funded Activity Summary

Understanding biological membranes in atomic detail. The aim of the project is to develop the capacity to represent specific mammalian, fungal and bacterial membranes in atomic detail and to use such models to understand the role of membrane composition in the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins at an atomic level. Membrane protein assemblies are the ultimate nanoscale machines. Understanding these sub-cellular components is both a fundamental theoretical challenge and of widespread practical importance in biochemistry, structural biology and medicine. By representing in detail the complexity of biological membranes, the project aims to elucidate the role played by specific membrane components in determining the mechanism of action of proteins involved in transport and signal transduction in context.
