New discovery makes it easier to design synthetic proteins that rival their natural counterparts

Researchers, led by UC Berkeley engineers, have created a synthetic material that is as effective as naturally occurring proteins in transporting molecules through membranes, a major milestone that could transform such fields as medicine, life sciences, alternative energy and environmental science. Mimicking transmembrane proteins, which act as gatekeepers in living cells, has been a key...
