ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2026.DNA origami nanostructures functionalized with lipophilic anchors of distinct hydrophobicity reveal synergistic effects on membrane binding and phase‐specific localization. Weak anchors, although insufficient for binding alone, enhance membrane association and govern selective phase partitioning when combined with strong anchors, establishing multi ...

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.

Microfluidic characterization of biomimetic membrane mechanics with an on-chip micropipette
Micro and Nano Engineering, 2020 The mechanic properties of cell membranes control many biological processes. The complexity of natural membranes is often dealt with by building synthetic vesicles (Giant Unilamellar Vesicles, GUVs), which can be thought as micron-sized minimal cells ...

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 ...

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 8, August 2026.Olikomycin A, a calcium‐dependent lipopeptide antibiotic, targets Gram‐positive bacteria by binding to phosphatidylglycerol and rapidly disrupting membrane integrity. Unlike daptomycin, it induces extensive membrane remodeling, vesicle deformation, and fragmentation.
