    On March 15, 2022, a research paper titled " Conformational changes of a phosphatidylcholine flippase in lipid membranes " was published in the journal Cell Reports by Researcher Li Long's research group from the School of Life Sciences of Peking University .

    In the cell membrane of eukaryotic cells, the phospholipid molecules in the bilayer are distributed asymmetrically: different phospholipid molecules are selectively enriched on the cytoplasmic side or the extracellular side according to the properties of their head groups


    The authors took P4-ATPase and Dnf1 proteins that selectively transport phosphatidylcholine in yeast as representative research objects, put them into nanodiscs containing yeast natural lipid molecules, and analyzed their structures by cryo-electron microscopy.
