Cytotoxicity of the Bacillus thuringiensis Crystal Protein against Mammalian Cells [PDF]
The crystal proteins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp, israelensis (Bti) and subsp. coreanensis A1519 strain were examined for the cytotoxicity against MOLT-4 and HeLa cells by MTT assay and LDH assay, The A1519 crystal proteins processed by ...

Role of the fast kinetics of pyroglutamate-modified amyloid-β oligomers in membrane binding and membrane permeability. [PDF]
Membrane permeability to ions and small molecules is believed to be a critical step in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Interactions of oligomers formed by amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides with the plasma cell membrane are believed to play a fundamental

Mechanisms for Albumin‐Mediated Membrane Damage [PDF]
Bee venom phospholipase A2 causes a small increase in the sublytic leakiness of rabbit erythrocytes; which is strongly inhibited by lysolecithin and potentiated by albumin. Albumin extracts long‐chain fatty acids from the erythrocyte membrane by a process which is faster than diffusion‐determined efflux of fatty acid and during this process it ...

Uncoupling protein 2: a key player and a potential therapeutic target in vascular diseases [PDF]
Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that belongs to the uncoupling protein family and plays an important role in lowering mitochondrial membrane potential and dissipating metabolic energy with prevention of oxidative ...

Thermal Damage to Chloroplast Envelope Membranes [PDF]
Nuclear magnetic resonance was used to detect thermal injury to chloroplasts in vivo. A lesion occurs in the chloroplast envelope membrane at temperatures between 53 degrees C and 57 degrees C, depending on species, leaf condition, and heating rate. The injury is associated with a sudden loss of water from the chloroplast.

?2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibril-Induced Membrane Disruption Is Enhanced by Endosomal Lipids and Acidic pH [PDF]
Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of amyloidoses are not well understood, the interaction between amyloid proteins and cell membranes is thought to play a role in several amyloid diseases. Amyloid fibrils of ?2-microglobulin (?2m)

"Breakthrough" osmosis and unusually high power densities in Pressure-Retarded Osmosis in non-ideally semi-permeable supported membranes [PDF]
Osmosis is the movement of solvent across a membrane induced by a solute-concentration gradient. It is very important for cell biology. Recently, it has started finding technological applications in the emerging processes of Forward Osmosis and Pressure ...
