Membrane Protein Structure and Function Characterization Methods and

In this present volume, different approaches are detailed to produce membrane proteins, purify them, study their function, determine their structure, and model them in membrane. Since every membrane protein behaves mostly in a unique way /fashion, knowled

Preface Membrane proteins are essential components of biological processes such as ions, metabolites or water transport, signal transduction, sensing cell environment, and control of cell-cell contact. Dysfunction of these proteins induces numerous human pathologies like cystic fibrosis which originates from a genetic disorder that is linked to the most common case to the deletion of one amino acid. Many other disorders like cancers and inflammatory diseases occur through cell-cell communications and involve membrane proteins. Although many studies have been performed to characterize mem
