Abstract excerpt
The four-helical bundle soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex that mediates intracellular membrane fusion events contains a highly conserved ionic layer at the center of an otherwise hydrophobic core. This layer has an undetermined function; it consists of glutamine (Q) residues in syntaxin and the two synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa...
