Studies on Membrane-Associated Proteins in Exocytosis and Endocytosis

by Jiansong Tong

"Biophysical Studies with Membrane-Associated Protein in Synaptic Exocytosis and Endocytosis" explored detailed mechanisms for understanding how membrane proteins play their roles "locally" in exact biological pathways. Synaptobrevin2, a protein required for synaptic exocytosis, forms a parallel dimer from an open-scissor like structure by cholesterol lipid on the membrane to facilitate the membrane fusion process. Epsin1, which is involved in endocytosis,...
