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 ...

Evidence for the Formation of Symmetric and Asymmetric DLPC-DAPC Lipid Bilayer Domains
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013 Background/Aims: We investigated if mixtures of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C12:0 PC; DLPC) and 1,2-diarachidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C20:0 PC; DAPC), which differ by eight methylene groups in ...

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 ...

Cholesterol's location in lipid bilayers [PDF]
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2016 It is well known that cholesterol modifies the physical properties of lipid bilayers. For example, the much studied liquid-ordered Lo phase contains rapidly diffusing lipids with their acyl chains in the all trans configuration, similar to gel phase bilayers. Moreover, the Lo phase is commonly associated with cholesterol-enriched lipid rafts, which are

Biochemical Reconstitution and FRAP Analysis of Membrane-Associated Condensates on Supported Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolPlasma membrane–associated condensates driven by liquid–liquid phase separation represent a novel mechanism of receptor-mediated signaling transduction, serving as mesoscale platforms that concentrate signaling molecules and modulate reaction kinetics ...

Energetics of lipid bilayers with applications to deformations induced by inclusions [PDF]
, 2013 A new energy for the description of large deformations of lipid bilayers is formulated with mathematical rigor. This energy is derived by considering the smectic A liquid crystalline nature of lipid bilayers and the coupling between the deformations of ...

Characterization of Lipid Bilayers Adsorbed to Functionalized Air/Water Interfaces [PDF]
, 2022 Lipid bilayers immobilized in planar geometries, such as solid-supported or "floating" bilayers, have enabled detailed studies of biological membranes with numerous experimental techniques, notably x-ray and neutron reflectometry.

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.
