Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane modification via oxidant-induced dopamine polymerization for sustainable direct-contact membrane distillation

, 2018
Porous hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have been extensively used in direct-contact membrane distillation (DCMD) processes. However, these PVDF membranes are vulnerable to membrane fouling and pore wetting in low surface tension ...

Osmotic shock induces the presence of glycocardiolipin in the purple membrane of Halobacterium salinarum

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
In the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum is present a phospholipid dimer consisting of sulfo-triglycosyl-diether (S-TGD-1) esterified to the phosphate group of phosphatidic acid (PA), i.e., S-TGD-1-PA, called glycocardiolipin (GlyC ...

Sequential fractionation and isolation of subcellular proteins from tissue or cultured cells

MethodsX, 2015
Many types of studies require the localization of a protein to, or isolation of enriched protein from a specific cellular compartment. Many protocols in the literature and from commercially available kits claim to yield pure cellular fractions.

Exosomes: Membrane-associated proteins, challenges and perspectives

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Membrane proteins determine the precise function of each membrane and, therefore, the function of each cell type. These proteins play essential roles in cell physiology, participating in the maintenance of the cell metabolism, its homeostasis or ...

Preparation of pure and intact Plasmodium falciparum plasma membrane vesicles and partial characterisation of the plasma membrane ATPase

Malaria Journal, 2002
Background In host erythrocytes, the malaria parasite must contend with ion and drug transport across three membranes; its own plasma membrane, the parasitophorous membrane and the host plasma membrane.

Novel method for incorporating hydrophobic silica nanoparticles on polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes for CO2 absorption in gas-liquid membrane contactor

, 2013
In a gas-liquid membrane contactor, a larger pore size can result in a lower membrane mass transfer resistance. However, the membrane pore size is usually limited by the concern of pore wetting, e.g. a large pore size means a higher wetting tendency.

Membrane Activity-Guided Isolation of Antiproliferative and Antiplatelet Constituent from

Natural Product Communications, 2008
Bark of Evodiopanax innovans (Araliaceae) was subjected to membrane activity-guided extraction and chromatographic fractionation. The potency to interact with lipid membranes and change their fluidity was determined by measuring fluorescence polarization
