Multilayered Lipid Membrane Stacks for Biocatalysis Using Membrane Enzymes
, 2017 Multilayered or stacked lipid membranes are a common principle in biology and have various functional advantages compared to single‐lipid membranes, such as their ability to spatially organize processes, compartmentalize molecules, and greatly increase ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Holmium Complex with Phospholipids as 1H NMR Relaxational Sensor of Temperature and Viscosity
Molecules, 2022 The sensitivity of Ho–phospholipid complexes to changes in the membrane viscosity of liposomes was checked. An increase in viscosity was observed for DPPC and DMPC near the phase-transition temperature.

Specific Adhesion of Membranes Simultaneously Supports Dual Heterogeneities in Lipids and Proteins [PDF]
, 2015 Membrane adhesion is a vital component of many biological processes. Heterogeneities in lipid and protein composition are often associated with the adhesion site. These heterogeneities are thought to play functional roles in facilitating signalling. Here

Regulation of lipid saturation without sensing membrane fluidity
Nature Communications, 2020 Cells maintain membrane fluidity by regulating lipid saturation, but the molecular mechanisms of this homeoviscous adaptation remain poorly understood. We have reconstituted the core machinery for regulating lipid saturation in baker’s yeast to study its

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Acetylcholinesterase Activity Influenced by Lipid Membrane Area and Surface Acoustic Waves
Micromachines, 2022 According to the current model of nerve propagation, the function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is to terminate synaptic transmission of nerve signals by hydrolyzing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in the synaptic cleft to acetic acid (acetate)

Synthesis and structural characterization of a mimetic membrane-anchored prion protein [PDF]
, 2006 During pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) an abnormal form (PrPSc) of the host encoded prion protein (PrPC) accumulates in insoluble fibrils and plaques. The two forms of PrP appear to have identical covalent structures, but
