Abstract
Membrane proteins are important components of the proteome and play key roles in many biological processes, such as signal transduction, material transport, cell recognition, etc. Membrane proteins are involved in several fields, and more and more researchers want to understand them. However, the structural properties of membrane proteins make their recombinant expression yield low. This adversely affects the study of the structure and function of membrane proteins. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of membrane protein recombinant expression. Based on the current stage of research on membrane proteins, the article describes the current challenges faced by membrane protein recombinant expression and the solutions that can be applied to lay the foundation for a better study of membrane proteins in the future.
期刊介绍:
Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations.
Protein & Peptide Letters focuses on:
Structure Studies
Advances in Recombinant Expression
Drug Design
Chemical Synthesis
Function
Pharmacology
Enzymology
Conformational Analysis
Immunology
Biotechnology
Protein Engineering
Protein Folding
Sequencing
Molecular Recognition
Purification and Analysis
