Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...
Dynamin assembles into a ring around the neck of a forming vesicle and utilizes GTP hydrolysis energy to constrict and sever the membrane. The simulation reveals that the dynamin ring expands (loosens ...
