Abstract
- The article discusses a research conducted by Guangwei Min, et al, regarding tetraspanin. Tetraspanin contains a tightly packed quartet of transmembrane helices, according to a new, high resolution electron microscopy structure deduced by Min, et al. The rigid tetraspanin proteins may thus act as stable pilings in a lipid sea, according to the authors.
