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.

eLife, 2022 Cleavage of membrane proteins in the lipid bilayer by intramembrane proteases is crucial for health and disease. Although different lipid environments can potently modulate their activity, how this is linked to their structural dynamics is unclear. Here,

Lipid Bilayers of Ester-Modified Lipids [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 Lipid membranes and bilayers essentially function as barriers for cells to control the transport of substances. Since phospholipid membranes consist of a hydrophilic surface and a hydrophobic inside, the center of a phospholipid bilayer is known to contain almost no water and to prevent the transport of water-dissolving substances, such as ions.

Lipid bilayer composition influences small multidrug transporters [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Membrane proteins are influenced by their surrounding lipids. We investigate the effect of bilayer composition on the membrane transport activity of two members of the small multidrug resistance family; the Escherichia coli transporter, EmrE

Synthetic Analogues of the Snail Toxin 6-Bromo-2-mercaptotryptamine Dimer (BrMT) Reveal That Lipid Bilayer Perturbation Does Not Underlie Its Modulation of Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels [PDF]
, 2018 Drugs do not act solely by canonical ligand–receptor binding interactions. Amphiphilic drugs partition into membranes, thereby perturbing bulk lipid bilayer properties and possibly altering the function of membrane proteins.
