Study of macroscopic and microscopic properties of liposomes produced using microfluidic methods [PDF]

, 2019
For the last decades, lipid vesicles or liposomes, vesicles formed by a bilayer of amphiphilic lipids, have been used as a toy model for studying the cell membrane and for applications in cosmetics and drug delivery.

Melting transitions in biomembranes

, 2019
We investigated melting transitions in biological membranes in their native state that include their membrane proteins. These membranes originated from \textit{E. coli}, \textit{B.

Structural and Functional Effects of the Interaction Between an Antimicrobial Peptide and Its Analogs with Model Bacterial and Erythrocyte Membranes

Biomolecules
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a primary defense against pathogens. Here, we examined the interaction of two BP100 analogs, R2R5-BP100 (where Arg substitutes Lys 2 and 5) and R2R5-BP100-A-NH-C16 (where an Ala and a C16 hydrocarbon chain are added to ...
