Uncovering the Architecture of How a Protein Escapes the Membrane Coat
Scientists have recently revealed the architecture of a complex molecular machine that helps cells to escape the membrane coat. This machine, called the ESCPE membrane coat escape complex, is composed of several different proteins that work together to break through the membrane and allow molecules to pass through. The findings of this research could have important implications for drug delivery and other therapeutic applications. By better understanding how this complex works, researchers can design drugs that can specifically target the ESCPE complex and allow drugs to be delivered directly to the affected area.
