Mechanisms of Membrane Remodeling by Peripheral Proteins and Divalent Cations [PDF]
Biological membranes undergo constant shape remodeling involving the formation of highly curved structures. As one of the most extensively studied membrane remodeling events, endocytosis is a ubiquitous eukaryotic membrane budding, vesiculation, and ...

Alkyne lipid probes and azide detection reagents for in vitro enzymatic assays and highly sensitive lipid imaging [PDF]
Click chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for the sensitive and specific labeling of biomolecules in various applications. For the design of lipid probes, a small and non-interfering tag is important to prevent substantial influence on the ...
