Membrane morphologies induced by arc-shaped scaffolds are determined by arc angle and coverage [PDF]
, 2019 The intricate shapes of biological membranes such as tubules and membrane stacks are induced by proteins. In this article, we systematically investigate the membrane shapes induced by arc-shaped scaffolds such as proteins and protein complexes with coarse-grained modeling and simulations.

A Mathematical Model for Predicting the Life of PEM Fuel Cell Membranes Subjected to Hydration Cycling [PDF]
Journal of Power Sources 215 (2012) 135-144, 2013 Under typical PEM fuel cell operating conditions, part of membrane electrode assembly is subjected to humidity cycling due to variation of inlet gas RH and/or flow rate. Cyclic membrane hydration/dehydration would cause cyclic swelling/shrinking of the unconstrained membrane.

Membrane permeabilization by Islet Amyloid Polypeptide
, 2009 Membrane permeabilization by Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP) is suggested to be the main mechanism for IAPP-induced cytotoxicity and death of insulin-producing -cells in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Conformational plasticity of NaK2K and TREK2 potassium channel selectivity filters
Nature Communications, 2023 The potassium channel selectivity filter is responsible for conduction and selectivity of K + over other cations. Here, the authors use a combination of single molecule FRET, non-canonical fluorescent amino acid incorporation, and single channel patch ...

Spatial Dynamic Structures and Mobility in Computation [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Membrane computing is a well-established and successful research field which belongs to the more general area of molecular computing. Membrane computing aims at defining parallel and non-deterministic computing models, called membrane systems or P Systems, which abstract from the functioning and structure of the cell.

Modeling membrane nanotube morphology: the role of heterogeneity in composition and material properties. [PDF]
, 2020 Membrane nanotubes are dynamic structures that may connect cells over long distances. Nanotubes are typically thin cylindrical tubes, but they may occasionally have a beaded architecture along the tube.

Sites of Biosynthesis of Outer and Inner Membrane Proteins of Neurospora crassa Mitochondria [PDF]
, 1970 Outer and inner membranes of Neurospora crassa mitochondria were separated by the combined swelling, shrinking, sonication procedure. Membranes were characterized by electron microscopy and by marker enzyme activities.
