Biological membranes provide extraordinary and unique environments for biomolecules, while also defining cellular architecture and providing the basis for cellular identity. The study of biomembranes is of paramount interest in life sciences research, with significant implications across virtually all fields of basic and applied biomolecular science. The central interest of our research lies in membrane proteins, which are involved in a vast number of biological processes and serve as therapeutic targets for most of the drugs available on the market. Scientific and industrial interest in membrane proteins has grown exponentially in recent years, presenting new problems and technical challenges in protein chemistry, proteomics, structural biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics, and biotechnology.
