Dr. Wallace is determining the structure of the gramicidin A                    transmembrane ion channel using X-ray crystallography and co-                   crystals of gramicidin and phospholipids.  The crystals currently               available for study diffract to better than 2.0 A resolution.                   Spectroscopic studies on these crystals have shown that the lipid               molecules are highly ordered within the co-crystals.                                                                                                            The plasma membrane is responsible for the interactions of a cell               with its environment and neighboring cells.  Membrane proteins                  play a major role in transport processes, cell-cell contact and                 signal reception.  High resolution information concerning the                   structure of proteins which are embedded in lipid bilayers may                  elucidate their functional roles as channels and receptors and                  provide insight into the folding of proteins in the hydrophobic                 environment of a lipid bilayer.***//
