Plasmon Waveguide Resonance: Principles, Applications and Historical Perspectives on Instrument Development

Molecules, 2021
Plasmon waveguide resonance (PWR) is a variant of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) that was invented about two decades ago at the University of Arizona.

β-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 β-microglobulin (βm),

Acid sphingomyelinase activity is regulated by membrane lipids and facilitates cholesterol transfer by NPC2[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
During endocytosis, membrane components move to intraluminal vesicles of the endolysosomal compartment for digestion. At the late endosomes, cholesterol is sorted out mainly by two sterol-binding proteins, Niemann-Pick protein type C (NPC)1 and NPC2.

Membrane-spanning lipids for an uncompromised monitoring of membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
A Förster resonance energy transfer-based fusion and transfer assay was developed to study, in model membranes, protein-mediated membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer of fluorescent sphingolipid analogs.

Hydrophobic Mismatch Controls the Mode of Membrane-Mediated Interactions of Transmembrane Peptides

Membranes, 2022
Various cellular processes require the concerted cooperative action of proteins. The possibility for such synchronization implies the occurrence of specific long-range interactions between the involved protein participants.

Quantification and visualization of phosphoinositides by quantum dot-labeled specific binding-domain probes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Phosphoinositides (PI) play important regulatory roles in cell physiology. Localization and quantitation of PIs within the cell is necessary to understand their precise function.

Optical Switches for Lipid Membranes: Computed Molecular Projection Area as a Switch Selection Criterion

Colloids and Interfaces, 2022
Optical switches in lipid membranes are an emerging tool to tune the properties of the bilayer or membrane protein integrated therein. Here, we use simple geometry and physics considerations to deduce structural criteria to design efficient ...

Designer lipid-like peptides [PDF]

, 2011
A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein studies, particularly G-protein coupled receptors, is the notorious difficulty of finding an optimal detergent that can solubilize them and maintain their stability and function. Here we report rapid production of
