Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

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

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The interaction of amyloid-β peptide with lipid membranes and glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
, 2012 The aim of the thesis is a better understanding of the thermodynamics and structural aspects of the interaction of Aβ(1-40) with lipid membranes and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Interactions of retinol with lipid bilayers: studies with vesicles of different radii.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1995 The interactions of retinol with vesicles of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine of varying radii were studied. The rate constants of dissociation of retinol from bilayers (k(off)) and the equilibrium partition constants (Keq) of retinol into bilayers of ...
