The Effect of Highly Hydroxylated Fullerenol C60(OH)36 on Human Erythrocyte Membrane Organization [PDF]
Journal of Spectroscopy, 2015 The mechanism of the interaction of highly hydroxylated fullerenol C60(OH)36 with erythrocyte membranes was studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) of stearic acid derivatives labeled with a nitroxyl radical at C-12 or C-16 and with a ...

Plasma Membrane Fluidity: An Environment Thermal Detector in Plants [PDF]
Cells, 2021 The lipid matrix in cell membranes is a dynamic, bidimensional array of amphipathic molecules exhibiting mesomorphism, which contributes to the membrane fluidity changes in response to temperature fluctuation.

Novel African trypanocidal agents: membrane rigidifying peptides [PDF]
, 2012 The bloodstream developmental forms of pathogenic African trypanosomes are uniquely susceptible to killing by small hydrophobic peptides. Trypanocidal activity is conferred by peptide hydrophobicity and charge distribution and results from increased ...

Assessment of Membrane Fluidity Fluctuations during Cellular Development Reveals Time and Cell Type Specificity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cell membrane is made up of a complex structure of lipids and proteins that diffuse laterally giving rise to what we call membrane fluidity. During cellular development, such as differentiation cell membranes undergo dramatic fluidity changes induced by ...

Flotillin-mediated membrane fluidity controls peptidoglycan synthesis and MreB movement
eLife, 2020 The bacterial plasma membrane is an important cellular compartment. In recent years it has become obvious that protein complexes and lipids are not uniformly distributed within membranes.

Bicarbonate-Stimulated Membrane Reorganization in Stallion Spermatozoa
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Classical in vitro fertilization (IVF) is still poorly successful in horses. This lack of success is thought to be due primarily to inadequate capacitation of stallion spermatozoa under in vitro conditions.

Isolate Specific Cold Response of Yersinia enterocolitica in Transcriptional, Proteomic, and Membrane Physiological Changes [PDF]
, 2020 Yersinia enterocolitica, a zoonotic foodborne pathogen, is able to withstand low temperatures. This psychrotrophic ability allows it to multiply in food stored in refrigerators. However, little is known about the Y. enterocolitica cold response.
