Fast Membranes Hemifusion via Dewetting between Lipid Bilayers
, 2014 The behavior of lipid bilayer is important to understand the functionality of cells like the trafficking of ions between cells. Standard procedures to explore the properties of lipid bilayer and hemifused states typically use either supported membranes ...

Atomistic simulations of a multicomponent asymmetric lipid bilayer
, 2012 The cell membrane is inherently asymmetric and heterogeneous in its composition, a feature that is crucial for its function. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the physical properties of a 3-component asymmetric mixed lipid bilayer system ...

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research, 2015 Silicon nanowire (Si NW) two-terminal devices were fabricated to electrically probe the real-time formation and destruction of lipid bilayers. A liposome solution, containing the same ratio of zwitterionic/anionic lipids that are present in an ...

Sliding Columnar Phase of DNA-Lipid Complexes
, 1998 We introduce a simple model for DNA-cationic-lipid complexes in which galleries between planar bilayer lipid lamellae contain DNA 2D smectic lattices that couple orientationally and positionally to lattices in neighboring galleries.

Self-assembled DNA nanopores that span lipid bilayers.
Nano letters (Print), 2013 DNA nanotechnology excels at rationally designing bottom-up structures that can functionally replicate naturally occurring proteins. Here we describe the design and generation of a stable DNA-based nanopore that structurally mimics the amphiphilic nature

Interactions Between Natural Herbicides and Lipid Bilayers Mimicking the Plant Plasma Membrane
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Natural phytotoxic compounds could become an alternative to traditional herbicides in the framework of sustainable agriculture. Nonanoic acid, sarmentine and sorgoleone are such molecules extracted from plants and able to inhibit the growth of various ...

Water activity in lamellar stacks of lipid bilayers: "Hydration forces" revisited
, 2016 Water activity and its relationship with interactions stabilising lamellar stacks of mixed lipid bilayers in their fluid state are investigated by means of osmotic pressure measurements coupled with small-angle x-ray scattering. The (electrically-neutral)

The C2 domains of otoferlin, dysferlin, and myoferlin alter the packing of lipid bilayers.
Biochemistry, 2013 Ferlins are large multi-C2 domain membrane proteins involved in membrane fusion and fission events. In this study, we investigate the effects of binding of the C2 domains of otoferlin, dysferlin, and myoferlin on the structure of lipid bilayers ...

, 2006 We report a high energy-resolution neutron backscattering study to investigate slow motions on nanosecond time scales in highly oriented solid supported phospholipid bilayers of the model system DMPC -d54 (deuterated 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3 ...

The Effects of Splayed Lipid Molecules on Lubrication by Lipid Bilayers
LubricantsThe outstanding lubrication of articular cartilage in the major synovial joints such as hips and knees, essential for the joint well-being, has been attributed to boundary layers of lipids at the outer cartilage surfaces, which have very low friction ...
