Abstract

In this issue of Science , Song et al . ( p. 1859 ) provide the first high-resolution x-ray view of a transmembrane protein that spontaneously inserts into the lipid bilayer. In his Perspective, Engelman discusses what these results mean for our understanding of protein insertion into membranes.
