Lipid-protein stoichiometries in a crystalline biological membrane: NMR quantitative analysis of the lipid extract of the purple membrane

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
The lipid/protein stoichiometries of a naturally crystalline biological membrane, the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum, have been obtained by a combination of 31P- and 1H-NMR analyses of the lipid extract.

Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.
Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...
