The DBD, a 'winged' helix-turn-helix protein, displays a novel mode of binding in that the 'wing' does not contact DNA like all others of that class. Instead, the monomeric DBD, which crystallized ...

"It has the unique ability to be expressed as a soluble monomer, which upon contact with a lipid bilayer (cell membrane) spontaneously assembles into a transmembrane protein." The researchers not ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), crucial for diverse physiological responses, have traditionally been investigated in ...

Starch and cellulose are polymers made from the glucose monomer. Proteins are polymers of the amino acids monomers. Lipids are made from two different molecules called fatty acids and glycerol.
