PSI logo MPSBC is one of 9 membrane protein structure determina- tion centers established in July 2010 as part of the NIGMS PSI:Biology Initiative.

MPSBC's Mission:
MPSBC aims to establish a pipeline to generate multiple target constructs for expression studies followed by pre-crystallization screening to identify stable protein:detergent complexes. The complexes then undergo high-throughput crystallization screening and optimization followed by structure determination. Targets include transporters, transmembrane enzymes involved in lipid synthesis and lipid attachment, and membrane protein complexes.

Community Outreach:
MPSBC offers assistance with protein production, pre-crystallization screening, and high-throughput crystallization.
