Publications

Chief among the resources produced by the Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics Consortium (MPSDC) are publications co-authored by Consortium team members. These culminate out of research projects undertaken as part of the objectives of the Cores and Projects, and receive funding accordingly. We have made selections of these publications available for viewing, subject to the regulations of the periodicals and journals in which they were published. All publications listed cite the NIH/NIGMS Glue Grant No. GM087519 which funds the MPSDC.

The following are a list of directly related publications which reflect the broad goals and aims of the Consortium Bridges, Pilots, and Cores.
