Modulatory Effects of Acidic pH and Membrane Potential on the Adsorption of pH-Sensitive Peptides to Anionic Lipid Membrane

open access: yesMembranes, 2021
Anionic lipid membrane electrostatic potential and solution pH can influence cationic peptide adsorption to these bilayers, especially those containing simultaneously acid and basic residues.

Lipidomics in research on yeast membrane lipid homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mass spectrometry is increasingly used in research on membrane lipid homeostasis, both in analyses of the steady state lipidome at the level of molecular lipid species, and in pulse-chase approaches employing stable isotope-labeled lipid precursors ...

Macroscopic control of cell electrophysiology through ion channel expression

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Cells convert electrical signals into chemical outputs to facilitate the active transport of information across larger distances. This electrical-to-chemical conversion requires a tightly regulated expression of ion channels.

The Membrane Steps of Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis as Antibiotic Targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Peptidoglycan is the major component of the cell envelope of virtually all bacteria. It has structural roles and acts as a selective sieve for molecules from the outer environment. Peptidoglycan synthesis is therefore one of the most important biogenesis

A Novel Calcium-Activated Potassium Channel Controls Membrane Potential and Intracellular pH in Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Trypanosoma cruzi develops in environments where nutrient availability, osmolarity, ionic concentrations, and pH undergo significant changes. The ability to adapt and respond to such conditions determines the survival and successful transmission of T ...

MEMBRANE POTENTIALS AND CATAPHORETIC POTENTIALS OF PROTEINS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 1923
1. It has been shown in preceding publications that the membrane potentials of protein solutions or gels are determined by differences in the concentration of a common ion (e.g. hydrogen ion) inside a protein solution or protein gel and an outside aqueous solution free from protein, and that the membrane potentials can be calculated with a good degree ...

Calcium Signaling in Plant-Insect Interactions

open access: yesPlants, 2022
In plant–insect interactions, calcium (Ca2+) variations are among the earliest events associated with the plant perception of biotic stress. Upon herbivory, Ca2+ waves travel long distances to transmit and convert the local signal to a systemic defense ...

Ling’s Adsorption Theory as a Mechanism of Membrane Potential Generation Observed in Both Living and Nonliving Systems

open access: yesMembranes, 2016
The potential between two electrolytic solutions separated by a membrane impermeable to ions was measured and the generation mechanism of potential measured was investigated.

Membrane Potential Assessment by Fluorimetry as a Predictor Tool of Human Sperm Fertilizing Capacity

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Mammalian sperm acquire the ability to fertilize eggs by undergoing a process known as capacitation. Capacitation is triggered as the sperm travels through the female reproductive tract.
