The intricate dance of life relies on constant communication between cells. But how do these microscopic factories exchange cargo or fuse entirely? Enter SNARE proteins, the cellular matchmakers orchestrating membrane fusion. These fascinating molecules reside on both vesicles (transport packages) and target membranes. SNAREs come in v-SNARE and t-SNARE flavors, each with a specific docking site. Like puzzle pieces, they precisely bind, forming a...
