Here, a transport vesicle from the Golgi or elsewhere in the cell merges its membrane with the plasma membrane and releases its contents. In this way, membranes are continually recycled and reused ...

The Membrane Transport Biology group are interested in the relationship between the structure ... and by characterising their protein:protein interactions at the plasma membrane, we aim to integrate ...

are transported to the plasma membrane. Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...
