The role of interfacial lipids in stabilizing membrane protein oligomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Oligomerization of membrane proteins in response to lipid binding has a critical role in many cell-signalling pathways1 but is often difficult to define2 or predict3.

Analytical derivation of thermodynamic properties of bolalipid membrane

open access: yes, 2009
We consider a model of bilayer lipid membrane with bola-lipids. The bola-lipid is modeled by linking tails of the hydrophobic chains in the opposite monolayers within bilayer as a first approximation.

Lipid profile of Xylella fastidiosa Subsp. pauca associated with the olive quick decline syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Lipids, components of the plasma and intracellular membranes as well as of droplets, provide different biological functions related to energy, carbon storage, and stress responses.

Charge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibility temperatures in several binary and ternary lipid mixtures of ...

Electrostatic forces on charged surfaces of bilayer lipid membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Simulating protein-membrane interactions is an important and dynamic area of research. A proper definition of electrostatic forces on membrane surfaces is necessary for developing electromechanical models of protein-membrane interactions. Here we modeled

Review article

open access: yes, 2019
In eukaryotic cells, the trans-Golgi network (TGN) serves as a platform for secretory cargo sorting and trafficking. In recent years, it has become evident that a complex network of lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions contributes to these key ...

Mass spectrometry captures off-target drug binding and provides mechanistic insights into the human metalloprotease ZMPSTE24. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Off-target binding of hydrophobic drugs can lead to unwanted side effects, either through specific or non-specific binding to unintended membrane protein targets.

Flexible Lipid Bilayers in Implicit Solvent

open access: yes, 2005
A minimalist simulation model for lipid bilayers is presented. Each lipid is represented by a flexible chain of beads in implicit solvent. The hydrophobic effect is mimicked through an intermolecular pair potential localized at the ``water''/hydrocarbon ...

Membrane traffic: Cycling lipids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
When synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic plasma membrane, their membrane constituents are recycled by internalisation into clathrin-coated vesicles.

Hydrodynamics of Diffusion in Lipid Membrane Simulations

open access: yes, 2018
By performing molecular dynamics simulations with up to 132 million coarse-grained particles in half-micron sized boxes, we show that hydrodynamics quantitatively explains the finite-size effects on diffusion of lipids, proteins, and carbon nanotubes in ...
