Electrostatic Interaction with the Bacterial Cell Envelope Tunes the Lytic Activity of Two Novel Peptidoglycan Hydrolases

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolases, due to their crucial role in the metabolism of the bacterial cell wall (CW), are increasingly being considered suitable targets for therapies, and a potent alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Tuning the Surface Charge of Self-Assembled Polydiacetylene Vesicles to Control Aggregation and Cell Binding

open access: yesBiosensors, 2020
Polydiacetylene vesicles of various compositions were assembled using a two-part mixture of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and ethylenedioxy-bis-ethylamine (EDEA)-labeled PCDA in order to control surface charge and stability within a desired pH range.

Measurement and visualization of cell membrane surface charge in fixed cultured cells related with cell morphology.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The diagnosis of patients with malignancies relies on the results of a clinical cytological examination. To enhance the diagnostic qualities of cytological examinations, it is important to have a detailed analysis of the cell's characteristics. There is,

Translocating the blood-brain barrier using electrostatics

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012
Mammalian cell membranes regulate homeostasis, protein activity and cell signaling. The charge at the membrane surface has been correlated with these key events.Although mammalian cells are known to be slightly anionic, quantitative information on the ...

Cell surface charge characteristics and their relationship to bacterial attachment to meat surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989
Cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were determined by hydrocarbon adherence, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction chromatography.

Positively charged nanocomplex modulates dendritic cell differentiation to enhance Th1 immune response

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio, 2022
Most existing vaccines use activators that polarize the immune response to T-helper (Th) 2 response for antibody production. Our positively charged chitosan (Cs)-based nanocomplex (CNC) drives the Th1 response through unknown mechanisms. As receptors for

The surface charge of trypanosomatids of the genus trypanosoma

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1990
Cell electrophoresis was used for determionation of the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of epimastigo and trypamastigote forms of several isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi and some stocks of other members of the Schizotrypanum subgenus, such as T. dionisii, T.
