Membrane proteins are vital for biological function, and their action is governed by structural properties critically depending on their interactions with the membranes. This has motivated considerable interest in studies of membrane protein folding and unfolding. Here the structural changes
The ability to predict from amino acid sequence how membrane protein structures will respond to detergent solubilization would significantly facilitate experimental characterization of these molecules. Here we have investigated and compared the response to solubilization by the "mild" n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM)

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multiprotein complex that splits water and initiates electron transfer in photosynthesis. The central part of PSII, the PSII core, is surrounded by light-harvesting complex II proteins (LHCIIs). In higher plants, two or three LHCII trimers
