CRC 1348 A01 - The role of protein-lipid interactions for protein segregation in the yeast plasma membrane

Basic data for this project

Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration: 01/01/2018 - 31/12/2021 | 1st Funding period

Description

In this proposal we combine experimental and numerical approaches to analyze the detailed mechanisms for lateral membrane segregation through protein-lipid interactions in the yeast plasma membrane. We will further push the limits of complexity in existing numerical approaches to obtain the underlying thermodynamic contributions which drive the segregation of lipids and proteins in multi-component membranes.
