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.

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.

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.

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.

Delivering anion transporters to lipid bilayers in water [PDF]
, 2021 Cyclodextrins have been employed as delivery agents for lipophilic anion transporters, which allow their incorporation into lipid bilayers without using an organic solvent or pre ...

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.

Structure of POPC lipid bilayers in OPLS3e force field [PDF]
, 2022 It is crucial for molecular dynamics simulations of biomembranes that the force field parameters give a realistic model of the membrane behavior. In this study, we examined the OPLS3e force field for the carbon–hydrogen order parameters SCH of POPC (1 ...

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.
