Coarse-grained simulation of transmembrane peptides in the gel phase [PDF]
, 2013 We use Dissipative Particle Dynamics simulations, combined with parallel tempering and umbrella sampling, to investigate the potential of mean force between model transmembrane peptides in the various phases of a lipid bilayer, including the low ...

Correlated diffusion in lipid bilayers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 SignificanceDynamic processes on membrane surfaces are essential for biological function. Traditionally, quantitative measurements of lipid/protein motion have been interpreted in the framework of membrane hydrodynamics. However, some recent single-molecule tracking studies have proven difficult to interpret via hydrodynamic arguments.

Functional role of water in membranes updated: A tribute to Träuble [PDF]
, 2015 The classical view of a cell membrane is as a hydrophobic slab in which only nonpolar solutes can dissolve and permeate. However, water-soluble non-electrolytes such as glycerol, erythritol, urea and others can permeate lipid membranes in the liquid ...

Lamellar and inverse micellar structures of skin lipids: Effect of templating [PDF]
, 2014 The outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum (SC), comprises rigid corneocytes in a layered lipid matrix. Using atomistic simulations we find that the equilibrium phase of the SC lipids is inverse micellar.

Membrane docking geometry of GRP1 PH domain bound to a target lipid bilayer: an EPR site-directed spin-labeling and relaxation study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The second messenger lipid PIP(3) (phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate) is generated by the lipid kinase PI3K (phosphoinositide-3-kinase) in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, where it regulates a broad array of cell processes by recruiting ...

Cell-free protein expression systems in microdroplets: stabilization of interdroplet bilayers
, 2013 Cell-free protein expression with bacterial lysates has been demonstrated to produce soluble proteins in microdroplets. However, droplet assays with expressed membrane proteins require the presence of a lipid bilayer.
