OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Integral membrane proteins that are embedded in the cellular plasma membrane make up the vast majority of all approved drug targets. However, the contributions of the membrane lipids to the function and behavior of these membrane-embedded proteins have for years been neglected. Often the membrane itself is seen as just a ‘scaffold’ to hold the protein in place. Using a range of integrated computational and experimental methods (several developed specifically for this project), we explore the interactions between membrane proteins and their surrounding lipid environments to reveal just how intricate, detailed, and balanced the relationship is.
