Alcohol Interactions with Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Molecules, 2017 We investigate the structural changes to lipid membrane that ensue from the addition of aliphatic alcohols with various alkyl tail lengths. Small angle neutron diffraction from flat lipid bilayers that are hydrated through water vapor has been employed ...

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2000 Fluctuations, inherent in flexible and biologically relevant lipid bilayers, make quantitative structure determination challenging. Shortcomings in older methods of structure determination have been realized and new methodologies have been introduced that take fluctuations into account.

Measuring anion binding at biomembrane interfaces
Nature Communications, 2022 Quantification of anion binding by molecular receptors within lipid bilayers is challenging. Here, the authors synthesise a high-affinity macrocyclic anion receptor which provides insights into determinants of anion binding within lipid bilayers.

Effect of CM15 on Supported Lipid Bilayer Probed by Atomic Force Microscopy
Membranes, 2023 Antimicrobial peptides are key components of the immune system. These peptides affect the membrane in various ways; some form nano-sized pores, while others only produce minor defects.

Water Pores in Planar Lipid Bilayers at Fast and Slow Rise of Transmembrane Voltage
Membranes, 2021 Basic understanding of the barrier properties of biological membranes can be obtained by studying model systems, such as planar lipid bilayers. Here, we study water pores in planar lipid bilayers in the presence of transmembrane voltage.

Insight into the interactions, residue snorkeling, and membrane disordering potency of a single antimicrobial peptide into different lipid bilayers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Pardaxin, with a bend-helix-bend-helix structure, is a membrane-active antimicrobial peptide that its membrane activity depends on the lipid bilayer composition.
