Biomimetic Models to Investigate Membrane Biophysics Affecting Lipid–Protein Interaction
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Biological membranes are highly dynamic in their ability to orchestrate vital mechanisms including cellular protection, organelle compartmentalization, cellular biomechanics, nutrient transport, molecular/enzymatic recognition, and membrane fusion ...

Wicking: a rapid method for manually inserting ion channels into planar lipid bilayers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The planar lipid bilayer technique has a distinguished history in electrophysiology but is arguably the most technically difficult and time-consuming method in the field.

The structural dynamics of the flavivirus fusion peptide-membrane interaction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Membrane fusion is a crucial step in flavivirus infections and a potential target for antiviral strategies. Lipids and proteins play cooperative roles in the fusion process, which is triggered by the acidic pH inside the endosome. This acidic environment

Leaflet Tensions Control the Spatio-Temporal Remodeling of Lipid Bilayers and Nanovesicles
Biomolecules, 2023 Biological and biomimetic membranes are based on lipid bilayers, which consist of two monolayers or leaflets. To avoid bilayer edges, which form when the hydrophobic core of such a bilayer is exposed to the surrounding aqueous solution, a single bilayer ...

Magnesium-Induced Lipid Bilayer Microdomain Reorganizations: Implications for Membrane Fusion [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009 Interactions between dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine (DPPS), combined both as binary lipid bilayer assemblies and separately, under the influence of divalent Mg2+, a membrane bilayer fusogenic agent, are reported.

Two modes of fusogenic action for influenza virus fusion peptide.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 The entry of influenza virus into the host cell requires fusion of its lipid envelope with the host membrane. It is catalysed by viral hemagglutinin protein, whose fragments called fusion peptides become inserted into the target bilayer and initiate its ...

Formation of Nanopore-Spanning Lipid Bilayers through Liposome Fusion
Langmuir, 2011 Self-assembly of nanopore-spanning lipid bilayers (npsLBs) paves the way toward chip-based integrated membrane protein biosensing. We present a novel approach to analyze the formation of npsLB at individual nanopores using quantitative analysis of high-resolution microscopy images.
