title: Protein translocation across membranes.
abstract: Many newly synthesized proteins must be translocated across a membrane to reach their final destinations. Translocation requires a signal on the protein itself, a loose conformation of the protein, energy, and receptor-like components in the cytosol and on the target membrane.
