Molecular model of a newly-synthesised protein chain (pale blue) being secreted through the protein export channel SecYE (red and pink) in a nanodisc. Nanodiscs are model membrane systems used to study membrane proteins. They are made of a tiny disc of lipids, just big enough to hold one copy of a membrane protein of interest, surrounded by a stabilising belt of proteins. | |
