The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

"Water-free" computer model for fluid bilayer membranes
We use a simple and efficient computer model to investigate the physical properties of bilayer membranes. The amphiphilic molecules are modeled as short rigid trimers with finite range pair interactions between them.

Donnan Membrane Potential [PDF]
IN a recent communication in NATURE (July 17, 1943, p. 76) I applied the Boltzmann distribution law to the Donnan membrane equilibrium between two compartments, compartment (1) containing colloidal (or non-diffusible) ions plus diffusible ions, compartment (2) containing only diffusible ions. From the equations obtained, it follows that at the same pH.

Fluorinated Membrane Potential Probes [PDF]
To explore the effect of fluorination on photophysical properties of membrane potential probes, we developed synthetic methods for ANEP dyes with fluorine substitutions at the donor, bridge, and acceptor sides. Fluorination on acceptor side induces red shifts in optical spectra while on donor side it induces blue shifts.

B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

T-tubules are invaginations of the lateral membrane of striated muscle cells that provide a large surface for ion channels and signaling proteins, thereby supporting excitation–contraction coupling. T-tubules are often remodeled in heart failure.

Measurements of membrane potentials in plant mitochondria with the safranine method.
The positively charged dye, safranine, has been used as an indicator of membrane potentials in mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) and Voodoo lily (Sauromatum guttatum) mitochondria under a variety of metabolic conditions. The spectral response of safranine has

Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.
