title: Membrane protein complexes.
abstract: A wide range of membrane protein structures have been published during the past two years. These have included proteins from both eucaryotic and heterologously overexpressed sources. Whereas some of these proteins were crystallised using conventional techniques, others employed the new methods of lipidic cubic phase crystallisation and antibody fragment co-crystallisation. These and other new approaches to the expression and crystallisation of membrane proteins are accelerating structural studies of membrane protein complexes.
