Positively charged residues are important determinants of membrane protein topology
Abstract
Membrane proteins are found in a variety of conformations, with each protein spanning the membrane a set number of times and adopting a particular orientation. Positively charged residues, often located near the boundaries of transmembrane segments, appear to be involved in specifying the topology of membrane proteins.
