High-resolution structures and dynamics of membrane protein–lipid complexes: a critique

Crystallographic analysis of lipidic components in complex with membrane proteins reveals molecules exhibiting well-ordered polar or hydrophobic moieties in contact with protein. As dynamic methods indicate high exchange rates, the interpretation of structural data requires a detailed knowledge of t...

Zusammenfassung:Crystallographic analysis of lipidic components in complex with membrane proteins reveals molecules exhibiting well-ordered polar or hydrophobic moieties in contact with protein. As dynamic methods indicate high exchange rates, the interpretation of structural data requires a detailed knowledge of the specificity, affinity and cooperativity of lipid binding.
