Abstract
A large fraction of soluble protein within the interior of living cells may reversibly associate with structural elements, including proteinaceous fibers and phospholipid membranes. In this opinion, we present theoretical and experimental evidence that many of these associations are due to nonspecific attraction between the protein and the surface of the fiber or membrane, and that such associations may lead to substantial changes in the association state of the adsorbed proteins, the biological function of the adsorbed proteins, and the distribution of these proteins between the many microenvironments existing within the cell.
期刊介绍：
For over 40 years, Trends in Biochemical Sciences (TIBS) has been a leading publication keeping readers informed about recent advances in all areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. Through monthly, peer-reviewed issues, TIBS covers a wide range of topics, from traditional subjects like protein structure and function to emerging areas in signaling and metabolism. Articles are curated by the Editor and authored by top researchers in their fields, with a focus on moving beyond simple literature summaries to providing novel insights and perspectives. Each issue primarily features concise and timely Reviews and Opinions, supplemented by shorter articles including Spotlights, Forums, and Technology of the Month, as well as impactful pieces like Science & Society and Scientific Life articles.
