Lipid–protein interactions
What are the important roles of protein–lipid interactions? These ubiquitous macromolecules interact not only at the cell membranes, but in many locations in many different cell types. In this virtual session, researchers present their work on allosteric regulation of the interaction, binding specificities, structural requirements for binding, and how binding leads to protein–lipid signaling activation.
The talks in this virtual event were originally programmed to take place as an in-person Spotlight Session at the 2020 ASBMB Annual Meeting.
