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

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 ...

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.

?2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibril-Induced Membrane Disruption Is Enhanced by Endosomal Lipids and Acidic pH [PDF]

, 2014
Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of amyloidoses are not well understood, the interaction between amyloid proteins and cell membranes is thought to play a role in several amyloid diseases. Amyloid fibrils of ?2-microglobulin (?2m)
