Functional characterisation of the lipid raft protein stomatin [PDF]
, 2005 The function of the integral membrane protein stomatin is as yet poorly understood. Stomatin is deficient from the erythrocyte membrane of patients suffering with Overhydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis (OHSt).

Lipid and Lipidation in Membrane Fusion
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2022 Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission, mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and regulate the fusion. Interestingly, various types of fusion proteins are present in nature and they possess diverse mechanisms of action.

Polymerization from Lipid Membranes. [PDF]
BiomacromoleculesIn living cells, lipid bilayer membranes can be asymmetrically functionalized, with brush-like layers of macromolecules. These coatings, like the glycocalyx, often originate from the membrane and feature high surface concentrations. Yet in vitro, synthetic methods used to functionalize lipid membranes with macromolecules typically graft presynthesized ...

Energetics of lipid bilayers with applications to deformations induced by inclusions [PDF]
, 2013 A new energy for the description of large deformations of lipid bilayers is formulated with mathematical rigor. This energy is derived by considering the smectic A liquid crystalline nature of lipid bilayers and the coupling between the deformations of ...

Lipid membranes with an edge [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2002 Consider a lipid membrane with a free exposed edge. The energy describing this membrane is quadratic in the extrinsic curvature of its geometry; that describing the edge is proportional to its length. In this note we determine the boundary conditions satisfied by the equilibria of the membrane on this edge, exploiting variational principles.

Photosynthetica, 2023 Thylakoid membranes are energy-converting membranes with a unique lipid composition. Though the membranes are primarily composed of proteins, their photosynthetic function is strongly influenced by the lipid constituents.

Asymmetric Lipid Membranes under Shear Flows: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Study
Membranes, 2021 We investigate the phase behavior of the asymmetric lipid membranes under shear flows, using the dissipative particle dynamics simulation. Two cases, the weak and strong shear flows, are considered for the asymmetric lipid microstructures.

The ELBA force field for coarse-grain modeling of lipid membranes [PDF]
, 2011 A new coarse-grain model for molecular dynamics simulation of lipid membranes is presented. Following a simple and conventional approach, lipid molecules are modeled by spherical sites, each representing a group of several atoms.

FEBS Letters, 1974 Today, as in 1964, those who are concerned with membranes are broadly divided into two main groups: investigators who work on lipids and others who study proteins. Whether one pursues mainly this aspect or that is often more the result of individual interest and background rather than the outcome of a decision that one particular aspect of membranes is

Forces in Mechanics, 2021 Single strand DNA-wrapped Single-walled carbon nanotubes (ssDNA-SWCNTs) have critical biomedical applications such as drug delivery, bio-imaging and bio-sensing; therefore, the mechanical interaction between ssDNA-SWCNTs and lipid membranes is an ...
