Binding of Peripheral Proteins to Mixed Lipid Membranes: Effect of Lipid Demixing upon Binding [PDF]
Binding isotherms have been determined for the association of horse heart cytochrome c with dioleoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DOPG)/dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayer membranes over a range of lipid compositions and ionic strengths. In the absence of protein, the DOPG and DOPC lipids mix nearly ideally.

Effect of Point Mutations on Structural and Allergenic Properties of the Lentil Allergen Len c 3
Plant lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are known to be clinically significant allergens capable of binding various lipid ligands. Recent data showed that lipid ligands affected the allergenic properties of plant LTPs.

μ-calpain binds to lipid bilayers via the exposed hydrophobic surface of its Ca2+-activated conformation [PDF]
μ- and m-calpain are cysteine proteases requiring micro- and millimolar Ca2+ concentrations for their activation in vitro. Among other mechanisms, interaction of calpains with membrane phospholipids has been proposed to facilitate their activation by ...

Apolipoprotein A-IMilano (A-IM) (R173C), a natural mutant of human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), and five other cysteine variants of apoA-I at residues 52 (S52C), 74 (N74C), 107 (K107C), 129 (G129C), and 195 (K195C) were generated.

Antimicrobial Peptide-Lipid Binding Interactions and Binding Selectivity [PDF]
Surface pressure measurements, external reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and neutron reflectivity have been used to investigate the lipid-binding behavior of three antimicrobial peptides: melittin, magainin II, and cecropin P1. As expected, all three cationic peptides were shown to interact more strongly with the anionic lipid, 1,2 ...

Lipid metabolism and HCV infection [PDF]
Chronic infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) can lead to severe liver disease and is a global healthcare problem. The liver is highly metabolically active and one of its key functions is to control the balance of lipid throughout the body.

Insulin-induced lipid binding to hemoglobin [PDF]
Under hypoglycemic conditions, concomitant hyperinsulinism causes an apparent modification of hemoglobin (Hb) which is manifested by its aggregation (Niketić et al., Clin. Chim. Acta 197 (1991) 47).

Lipid bilayer composition influences small multidrug transporters [PDF]
Background: Membrane proteins are influenced by their surrounding lipids. We investigate the effect of bilayer composition on the membrane transport activity of two members of the small multidrug resistance family; the Escherichia coli transporter, EmrE

A Soluble Fluorescent Binding Assay Reveals PIP2 Antagonism of TREK-1 Channels
Lipid regulation of ion channels by low-abundance signaling lipids phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidic acid (PA) has emerged as a central cellular mechanism for controlling ion channels and the excitability of nerves.
