Protein Folding Via Charge Zippers Takes Place In Cells

In biological cell envelopes membrane are the "molecular machines." Diverse processes such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis are controlled by them. Their shape, i.e. folding of the molecules, plays a decisive role in the formation of, e.g., pores in the cell membrane. In the iCell/i magazine, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Cagliari are now reporting a novel charge zipper ...
