ProBLM web server: protein and membrane placement and orientation package.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers often determine 3D structures of membrane proteins without considering lipid bilayers, but it's important to study their interactions within a membrane environment.
- A new geometry-based method allows for automatic insertion of known membrane protein structures into pre-generated lipid bilayers or a pseudomembrane made of pseudoatoms.
- This technique is implemented in a free web server called ProBLM, which enables users to upload protein files, regenerate missing components, and refine the model by adjusting the protein's position and orientation relative to the membrane.
