Mycobacteriophage Lysis Enzymes: Targeting the Mycobacterial Cell Envelope
Viruses, 2018 Mycobacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect mycobacteria, which ultimately culminate in host cell death. Dedicated enzymes targeting the complex mycobacterial cell envelope arrangement have been identified in mycobacteriophage genomes, thus ...

Asymmetric Oxidation of Giant Vesicles triggers Curvature-associated Shape Transition and Permeabilization. Running title: Oxidation of Vesicles produces Curvature [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, Biophysical Society, 2009, 97 (11),
pp.2904-2912, 2019 (200 words) Oxidation of unsaturated lipids is a fundamental process involved in cell bioenergetics as well as in cell death. Using giant unilamellar vesicles and a chlorin photosensitizer, we asymmetrically oxidized the outer or inner monolayers of lipid membranes.

Critical swelling of particle-encapsulating vesicles [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 078104 (2008), 2008 We consider a ubiquitous scenario where a fluctuating, semipermeable vesicle is embedded in solution while enclosing a fixed number of solute particles. The swelling with increasing number of particles or decreasing concentration of the outer solution exhibits a continuous phase transition from a fluctuating state to the maximum-volume configuration ...
