Exploring the Free Energy Landscape of Solutes Embedded in Lipid Bilayers.
Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2013 Free energy calculations are vital for our understanding of biological processes on an atomistic scale and can offer insight to various mechanisms. However, in some cases, degrees of freedom (DOFs) orthogonal to the reaction coordinate have high energy ...

Coherent collective dynamics in phospholipid membranes: where are we now?
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2020 We review the main achievements accomplished in the study of the coherent collective dynamics of phospholipid membranes, i.e., the collective vibrational excitations active on the sub-picoseconds to picoseconds time scale and terahertz frequencies, over ...

Bright ion channels and lipid bilayers.
Accounts of Chemical Research, 2013 If we look at a simple organism such as a zebrafish under a microscope, we would see many cells working in harmony. If we zoomed in, we would observe each unit performing its own tasks in a special aqueous environment isolated from the other units by a ...

Lipid Nanoparticle‐Mediated CRISPR‐Cas13a Delivery for the Control of Bacterial Infection
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.New formulations of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that can deliver nucleic acids to Gram‐negative bacteria are proposed to combat bacterial infection. The delivery of nucleic acids by LNPs is aided by LNP‐helpers which weaken the bacterial outer membrane. LNPs encapsulating the Cas13a/gRNA expression vector achieve an antibacterial effect in both in vivo ...

An engineered dimeric protein pore that spans adjacent lipid bilayers
Nature Communications, 2013 The bottom-up construction of artificial tissues is an underexplored area of synthetic biology. An important challenge is communication between constituent compartments of the engineered tissue, and between the engineered tissue and additional ...

A criterion to identify the equilibration time in lipid bilayer simulations [PDF]
Papers in Physics, 2012 With the aim of establishing a criterion for identifying when a lipid bilayer has reached steady state using the molecular dynamics simulation technique, lipid bilayers of different composition in their liquid crystalline phase were simulated in aqueous ...

Concentration fluctuations and phase transitions in coupled modulated bilayers
, 2012 We consider the formation of finite-size domains in lipid bilayers consisting of saturated and hybrid lipids. First, we describe a monolayer model that includes a coupling between a compositional scalar field and a two-dimensional vectorial order ...
