Charge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes [PDF]

, 2014
The phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibility temperatures in several binary and ternary lipid mixtures of ...

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 ...

OPA1 disease alleles causing dominant optic atrophy have defects in cardiolipin-stimulated GTP hydrolysis and membrane tubulation [PDF]

, 2010
The dynamin-related GTPase OPA1 is mutated in autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) (Kjer type), an inherited neuropathy of the retinal ganglion cells.

Effect of charged lipids on the ionization behavior of glutamic acid containing transmembrane helices [PDF]

, 2020
Transmembrane proteins make up critical components of living cells. Protein function can be greatly impacted by the charged state of its respective components, the side chains of amino acid residues.

Aglycon diversity of brain sterylglucosides: structure determination of cholesteryl- and sitosterylglucoside[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
To date, sterylglucosides have been reported to be present in various fungi, plants, and animals. In bacteria, such as Helicobacter pylori, proton NMR spectral analysis of isolated 1-O-cholesteryl-β-d-glucopyranoside (GlcChol) demonstrated the presence ...

Functional Peptides from SARS-CoV-2 Binding with Cell Membrane: From Molecular Dynamics Simulations to Cell Demonstration

Cells, 2022
Herein, we have verified the interaction between the functional peptides from the SARS-CoV-2 and cell membrane, and we further proved that peptides exhibit little membrane disruption.
