The dimerization motif of the glycophorin A transmembrane segment in membranes: Importance of glycine residues

Abstract The glycophorin A transmembrane segment homodimerizes to a right‐handed pair of α‐helices. Here, we identified the amino acid motif mediating this interaction within a natural membrane environment. Critical residues were grafted onto two different hydrophobic host sequences in a stepwise ma... View More
