摘要
Membrane fusion takes place in myriad cellular processes, and requires proteins known as SNAREs to pin the fusing membranes together. Syntaxin is one such SNARE, and must be activated for membrane fusion to take place. The structure of syntaxin in complex with the protein nSec1 may help us to understand how activation of syntaxin occurs.
