The surface charge of a cell lipid membrane

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper the problem of surface charge of the lipid membrane immersed in the physiological solution is considered. It is shown that both side of the bilayer phospholipid membrane surface are negatively charged. A self-consistent model of the potential in solution is developed, and a stationary charge density on the membrane surface is found. It is

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Inner-sphere complexation of cations at the rutile-water interface: A concise surface structural interpretation with the CD and MUSIC model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Acid–base reactivity and ion-interaction between mineral surfaces and aqueous solutions is most frequently investigated at the macroscopic scale as a function of pH.

Tumor acidity-induced charge-reversal liposomal doxorubicin with enhanced cancer cell uptake and anticancer activity

open access: yesGiant, 2021
Concerning that the polyethylene glycol surface layer of DOXIL hinders cancer cell uptake, thus leading to low anticancer activity, it is of great importance to promote the cancer cell uptake of liposomal doxorubicin.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The surface charge of trypanosomatids

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2002
The surface charge of trypanosomatids was evaluated by means of the binding of cationic particles, as visualized by electron microscopy and by direct measurements of the electrophoretic mobility of cells.

Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Salting the charged surface: pH and salt dependence of protein G B1 stability. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This study shows significant effects of protein surface charges on stability and these effects are not eliminated by salt screening. The stability for a variant of protein G B1 domain was studied in the pH-range of 1.5-11 at low, 0.15 M, and 2 M salt ...

Charge transport mechanisms in corona charged polymeric materials

open access: yes, 2013
Polymeric materials have been widely used as an insulator due to their excellent electrical properties, light weight and low cost. Surface potential measurement is one of the simplest and low cost tools to gauge electrical properties of materials.

Benefits of oxygen and nitrogen plasma treatment in Vero cell affinity to poly(lactide-co-glycolide acid) [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2013
Cell adhesion on materials surface is critical because this phenomenon occurs before other events, as cell spreading, cell migration and cell differentiation.
