For decades, researchers have been wondering what gives red blood cells their characteristic curves, and now Fowler and her colleagues have the answer: myosin proteins tug on the red blood cell’s ...

Using purified proteins, Yeoh et al ... The SERA proteases might then disrupt the PV, and perhaps even the erythrocyte membrane, thereby enabling the merozoites to escape. Clarifying the roles ...

In human erythrocytes (red blood cells), oxidative stress significantly impacts the function of the Band 3 protein (B3p), a crucial membrane protein involved in anion exchange and maintaining ...

For the project were selected proteins associated with the erythrocyte membrane, because they are easily available and have been well characterized in previous studies with methodologies such as 2D ...

Members of the protein family known as “P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1,” or PfEMP1, aid in cytoadhesion. Each parasite can flip between multiple forms of PfEMP1 to evade immune ...

This project is presented with an idea to identify detectable changes in erythrocyte membrane proteome before and after standard storage procedures ... mass spectrometry of identified proteins. The ...

My laboratory used the erythrocyte model to discover ankyrin and its role in connecting the anion ... Our laboratory has characterized ankyrins -B and -G and resolved their role in organization of a ...
