Unlocking the Power: Functional Importance of α-Helices in Membranes
When I first dove into studying membrane proteins, I was honestly overwhelmed by how much α-helices were treated like boring, rigid scaffolds. It took me months—yes, MONTHS—of chasing confusing mutagenesis results before I realized something crucial: α-helices aren’t just passive building blocks. They’re dynamic, finely tuned
