Investigation of phase transitions of lipids and lipid mixtures by sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry.

abstract：:Protein phosphorylation is a ubiquitous and one of the most effective means of regulating protein activity. Receptor phosphorylation is a key event in signal transduction. The question, therefore, that arises is whether this modulatory mechanism might produce functional changes in a membrane receptor in the absence of...
