Phrynopus AmphibiaWeb keeps "Noblella" in Strabomantidae/Strabomantinae, a family/subfamily no longer recognized by the Amphibian Species of the World. "Phrynopus" are small to medium-sized frogs, from snout–vent length in "Phrynopus auriculatus" to in "Phrynopus kauneorum". Head is narrower than the body. Differentiated tympanic membrane and tympanic annulus are usually absent, except in "Phrynopus auriculatus" and "Phrynopus peruanus", two basal species. Dorsum is smooth to pustulate. Venter is smooth or areolate. There are 26 species in this genus: Phrynopus Phrynopus is a genus of frogs of the Craugastoridae family. Their common name is Andes frogs. They are endemic to Peru and inhabit the
Membrane curvature several amphipathic alpha helices that allows it to partition between the hydrophobic core of the membrane and surrounding aqueous, hydrophilic environment. Another interesting characteristic of epsin and other proteins that bind to membranes is the fact that it shows high binding affinity for a fairly common membrane lipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P2). Unlike other proteins that simply bend the membrane through sheer rigidity, epsin is a globular soluble protein and thus not rigid. The insertion of its helices into the membrane force the neighboring lipids of the leaflet that has been bound to expand laterally. This displacement of lipids on only
