Volumetric stability of lipid bilayers [PDF]
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2012 In agreement with recent reports, a commercial densimeter has yielded a gradual decrease in lipid molecular volume of DPPC multilamellar vesicle dispersions in the gel phase upon repeated thermal cycling between 10 °C and 50 °C. The considerable size of this decrease would have significant implications for the physical chemistry of biomembranes.

Alcohol Interactions with Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Molecules, 2017 We investigate the structural changes to lipid membrane that ensue from the addition of aliphatic alcohols with various alkyl tail lengths. Small angle neutron diffraction from flat lipid bilayers that are hydrated through water vapor has been employed to eliminate possible artefacts of the membrane curvature and the alcohol’s membrane-water ...

Effect of gold nanoparticle on structure and fluidity of lipid membrane. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 This paper deals with the effect of different size gold nanoparticles on the fluidity of lipid membrane at different regions of the bilayer. To investigate this, we have considered significantly large bilayer leaflets and incorporated only one ...

Composition Fluctuations in Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2016 Abstract Lipid bilayers constitute the basis of biological membranes. Understanding lipid mixing and phase behavior can provide important insights into membrane lateral organization (the “raft” hypothesis). Here we investigate model lipid bilayers below and above their miscibility transition temperatures.

Lipid Bilayer Structure Refinement with SAXS/SANS Based Restrained Ensemble Molecular Dynamics [PDF]
, 2021 Small-angle scattering is a powerful technique that can probe the structure of lipid bilayers on the nanometer scale. Retrieving the real space structure of lipid bilayers from the scattering intensity can be a challenging task, as their fluid nature ...

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Alteration of the lipid composition of biological membranes interferes with their function and can cause tissue damage by triggering apoptosis. Upon lipid bilayer stress, the endoplasmic reticulum mounts a stress response similar to the unfolded protein ...

Simulations of Asymmetric Membranes Illustrate Cooperative Leaflet Coupling and Lipid Adaptability
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Biological membranes are composed of lipid bilayers that are often asymmetric with regards to the lipid composition and/or aqueous solvent they separate. Studying lipid asymmetry both experimentally and computationally is challenging.
