Micromachines, 2021 We determined the properties of fusion between large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) and the lipid monolayer by measuring the fluorescence intensity of rhodamine-conjugated phospholipids in cell-sized lipid vesicles.

A Versatile Suspended Lipid Membrane System for Probing Membrane Remodeling and Disruption
Membranes, 2022 Artificial membrane systems can serve as models to investigate molecular mechanisms of different cellular processes, including transport, pore formation, and viral fusion.

Synthetic Cell as a Platform for Understanding Membrane-Membrane Interactions
Membranes, 2021 In the pursuit of understanding life, model membranes made of phospholipids were envisaged decades ago as a platform for the bottom-up study of biological processes.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Alcohol affects many neuronal proteins that are upstream or down-stream of synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release. Less well studied is alcohol’s effect on the fusion machinery including SNARE proteins and lipid membranes.

Membranes, 2023 The interaction of the transmembrane domain of SARS-CoV-2 E-protein with glycyrrhizic acid in a model lipid bilayer (small isotropic bicelles) is demonstrated using various NMR techniques.

Biophysical characterization and membrane interaction of the two fusion loops of glycoprotein B from herpes simplex type I virus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The molecular mechanism of entry of herpesviruses requires a multicomponent fusion system. Cell invasion by Herpes simplex virus (HSV) requires four virally encoded glycoproteins: namely gD, gB and gH/gL.

Applied Sciences, 2022 A single particle observation of quantum dots (QDs) was performed on lipid bilayers formed on graphene oxide (GO). The long-range fluorescence quenching of GO has been applied to biosensing for various biomolecules.

A Dynamic Model of Fusion Pores in Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 Biological membranes remodel and change shape in processes like endocytosis, exocytosis, hemifusion, and the expansion of fusion pores. Since the length scale of these processes is generally quite small, computational models are needed to resolve the time course of the membrane.

SNARE proteins mediate lipid bilayer fusion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Lipid bilayers compartmentalize eukaryotic cells into distinct organelles. This compartmentalization allows for specialization of diverse cellular processes, from DNA polymerization to zymogen proteolysis. While the specific complement of proteins present in each organelle defines its function, there is a dynamic flux between these organelles.

Cells, 2022 It is well established that plant thylakoid membranes (TMs), in addition to a bilayer, contain two isotropic lipid phases and an inverted hexagonal (HII) phase.
