Figure 1

Membrane bending caused by proteins that directly deform cellular membranes. Many processes in the cell require proteins that shape membranes, and some are depicted in this figure. Regions where membrane-deforming proteins bind membranes are shown in either red (proteins that cause positive curvature) or purple (proteins that cause negative curvature). Note that some proteins work at more than one location in cells and not all are shown. A color version of this figure is available online.
