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.

Volumetric stability of lipid bilayers [PDF]
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2012 In agreement with recent reports, a commercial densimeter has yielded a gradual decrease in lipid molecular volume of DPPC multilamellar vesicle dispersions in the gel phase upon repeated thermal cycling between 10 °C and 50 °C. The considerable size of this decrease would have significant implications for the physical chemistry of biomembranes.

Composition Fluctuations in Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2016 Abstract Lipid bilayers constitute the basis of biological membranes. Understanding lipid mixing and phase behavior can provide important insights into membrane lateral organization (the “raft” hypothesis). Here we investigate model lipid bilayers below and above their miscibility transition temperatures.

Interaction of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) with lipid membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We studied the interaction of Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) with lipid membranes using x-ray diffraction for bilayers containing up to 50 mol% of aspirin. From 2D x-ray intensity maps that cover large areas of reciprocal space we determined the position

Multi-Stacked Supported Lipid Bilayer Micropatterning through Polymer Stencil Lift-Off
Membranes, 2015 Complex multi-lamellar structures play a critical role in biological systems, where they are present as lamellar bodies, and as part of biological assemblies that control energy transduction processes.

Choose your label wisely: water-soluble fluorophores often interact with lipid bilayers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Water-soluble organic fluorophores are widely used as labels in biological systems. However, in many cases these fluorophores can interact strongly with lipid bilayers, influencing the interaction of the target with the bilayer and/or leading to ...
