Glycophorin in Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974 Glycophorin, the major glycoprotein of human erythrocytes, has been isolated and reincorporated into lipid vesicles. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy shows the reincorporated glycophorin to occur as small particles in vesicle fracture faces while the etch faces are smooth.

Structure and drug binding of the SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein transmembrane domain in lipid bilayers
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2020 An essential protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the envelope protein E, forms a homopentameric cation channel that is important for virus pathogenicity.

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 AbstractLipid 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.

Mechanical properties of anionic asymmetric bilayers from atomistic simulations [PDF]
, 2021 Mechanotransduction, the biological response to mechanical stress, is often initiated by the activation of mechanosensitive (MS) proteins upon mechanically induced deformations of the cell membrane. A current challenge to fully understand this process is to predict how lipid bilayers deform upon application of mechanical stress.

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

Lipid Bilayers of Ester-Modified Lipids [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 Lipid membranes and bilayers essentially function as barriers for cells to control the transport of substances. Since phospholipid membranes consist of a hydrophilic surface and a hydrophobic inside, the center of a phospholipid bilayer is known to contain almost no water and to prevent the transport of water-dissolving substances, such as ions.
