Bottom-up assembly of functional intracellular synthetic organelles by droplet-based microfluidics

open access: yes, 2020
Bottom-up synthetic biology has directed most efforts toward the construction of artificial compartmentalized systems that recreate living cell functions in their mechanical, morphological, or metabolic characteristics.

Fusogenic properties of the ectodomains of hepatitis C virus envelope proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We have used an isolated chimeric protein E1340E2661 that includes the ectodomains of the envelope proteins of epatitis C virus to study its interaction with model membranes.

Intracellular Vesicle Fusion Requires a Membrane-Destabilizing Peptide Located at the Juxtamembrane Region of the v-SNARE

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Intracellular vesicle fusion is mediated by soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) and Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins. It is generally accepted that membrane fusion occurs when the vesicle and target membranes

Coarse-Grained Simulations of Membranes under Tension

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate the properties of membranes under tension by Monte-Carlo simulations of a generic coarse-grained model for lipid bilayers. We give a comprising overview of the behavior of several membrane characteristics, such as the area per lipid, the ...

Large Nanodiscs: A Potential Game Changer in Structural Biology of Membrane Protein Complexes and Virus Entry

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Phospho-lipid bilayer nanodiscs have gathered much scientific interest as a stable and tunable membrane mimetic for the study of membrane proteins. Until recently the size of the nanodiscs that could be produced was limited to ~ 16 nm. Recent advances in

Solvent free model for self-assembling fluid bilayer membranes: Stabilization of the fluid phase based on broad attractive tail potentials

open access: yes, 2005
We present a simple and highly adaptable method for simulating coarse-grained lipid membranes without explicit solvent. Lipids are represented by one head-bead and two tail-beads, with the interaction between tails being of key importance in stabilizing ...

Strain-promoted cycloadditions in lipid bilayers triggered by liposome fusion

open access: yes, 2023
Due to the variety of roles served by the cell membrane, its composition and structure are complex, making it difficult to study. Bioorthogonal reactions, such as the strain promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), are powerful tools for exploring the function of biomolecules in their native environment but have been largely unexplored within the ...

Coarse-Grained Model for Phospholipid/Cholesterol Bilayer

open access: yes, 2004
We construct a coarse-grained (CG) model for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/cholesterol bilayers and apply it to large-scale simulation studies of lipid membranes.
