An Integrated Framework Advancing Membrane Protein Modeling and Design

Membrane proteins are critical functional molecules in the human body, constituting more than 30% of open reading frames in the human genome. Unfortunately, a myriad of difficulties in overexpression and reconstitution into membrane mimetics severely limit our ability to determine their structures. Computational tools are therefore instrumental to membrane protein structure prediction, conseque...

The model highlights trade-offs within and across facets of voter welfare. Regarding incentives, unified authority yields higher total effort, but an allocation of that effort across tasks less fully aligned with vo...
