Abstract

The native environment of integral membrane proteins is a highly complex lipid bilayer composed of many different types of lipids, the physical characteristics of which can profoundly influence protein stability, folding, and function. Secondary transporters are a class of protein where changes to both structure and activity have been observed in different bilayer environments. In order to study these interactions in vitro, it is necessary to extract and purify the protein and exchange it into an artificial lipid system that can be manipulated to control protein behavior. Liposomes are a commonly used model system that is particularly suitable for studying transporters. GalP and LacY can be reconstituted or refolded into vesicles with a high degree of efficiency for further structural analysis. Circular dichroism spectroscopy is an important technique in monitoring protein folding, which allows the decomposition of spectra into secondary structural components.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2013.
All research outputs
#18,347,414
of 22,721,584 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,857
of 13,083 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#149,473
of 200,084 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#31
of 59 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,721,584 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,083 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 200,084 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
