Complex Phase Behavior of GUVs Containing Different Sphingomyelins [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2019
Understanding the lateral organization of biological membranes plays a key role on the road to fully appreciate the physiological functions of this fundamental barrier between the inside and outside regions of a cell. Ternary lipid bilayers composed of a high and a low melting temperature lipid and cholesterol represent a model system that mimics some ...

Repurposing a Lipid Droplet‐Associated Algal Protein as a Biosensor for Phosphatidic Acid

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
The DTH1 lipid binding domain (DTH1LBD) binds to lipid membranes containing phosphatidic acid (PA). Its N‐terminal amphipathic helices are sufficient for this association and, when labeled with solvatochromic fluorophores, can serve as in vitro PA biosensors.
