The short and long of protein tails: How they aid membrane insertion and may impact genetic disorders

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place. This membrane protects the cell from its surroundings and divides it into internal compartments; it is responsible for metabolism, energy production, communication with other cells and much more. Most of these processes are performed by proteins embedded within the cellular membrane. The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.
