Proteins Crossing Membranes
In an intriguing series of experiments carried out many years ago, a common scientific belief, feted by no less than three Nobel prizes, was brought into question. The observations were about proteins—the molecules that the genetic code specifies and that are in one way or another central to all of life’s activities. The experiments however were not about what proteins do, but how they are moved, ...
