- A direct role for the Sec1/Munc18-family protein Vps33 as a template for SNARE assembly (162 citations)
- Membranes linked by trans-SNARE complexes require lipids prone to non-bilayer structure for progression to fusion (64 citations)
- A cascade of multiple proteins and lipids catalyzes membrane fusion. (43 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Lipid bilayer fusion, Cell biology, Membrane, Vacuole and Plasma protein binding.
His Lipid bilayer fusion study contributes to a more complete understanding of Biochemistry.
The various areas that William Wickner examines in his Cell biology study include SNARE complex assembly, Protein subunit and Membrane protein.
While the research belongs to areas of Membrane, William Wickner spends his time largely on the problem of Tethering, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Compartment, In vitro and Biotinylation.
William Wickner combines subjects such as Liposome, SNARE complex disassembly, Biophysics, Cell membrane and Lipid bilayer with his study of Plasma protein binding.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Membrane lipids under Rab, and may sometimes address concerns connected to GTP' and Vesicular transport protein.
