SPONTANEOUS TRANSMEMBRANE HELIX INSERTION THERMODYNAMICALLY MIMICS TRANSLOCON-GUIDED INSERTION

The favorable transfer free energy for a transmembrane (TM) α-helix between the aqueous phase and lipid bilayer underlies the stability of membrane proteins. However, the connection between the energetics and process of membrane protein assembly by the Sec61/SecY translocon complex in vivo is not cl...
