Abstract excerpt
Membrane proteins (MPs) play an essential role in a broad range of cellular functions, serving as transporters, enzymes, receptors, and communicators, and about ~60% of membrane proteins are primarily used as drug targets. These proteins adopt either α-helical or β-barrel structures in the lipid bilayer of a cell/organelle membrane. Mutations in membrane proteins alter their structure and function, and may lead...
