Local Bilayer Hydrophobicity Modulates Membrane Protein Stability

2020-09-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Through the insertion of nonpolar side chains into the bilayer, the hydrophobic effect has long been accepted as a driving force for membrane protein folding. However, how the changing chemical composition of the bilayer affects the magnitude side chain transfer free energies has historically not been well understood. A particularly challenging region for experimental interrogation is the bilay...
