The styrene-maleic acid copolymer:: a versatile tool in membrane research [PDF]

, 2016
A new and promising tool in membrane research is the detergent-free solubilization of membrane proteins by styrene-maleic acid copolymers (SMAs). These amphipathic molecules are able to solubilize lipid bilayers in the form of nanodiscs that are bounded ...

Analogue modulation of back-propagating action potentials enables dendritic hybrid signalling

Nature Communications, 2016
‘Analogue’ modulation by somatic membrane potentials can modify ‘digital’ axonal action potentials. Here, the authors show that analogue modulation can occur in back-propagating dendritic action potentials and calcium signals, leading to signal ...

Membrane Activity of Melittin and Magainin-I at Low Peptide-to-Lipid Ratio: Different Types of Pores and Translocation Mechanisms

Biomolecules
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are believed to be a prominent alternative to the common antibiotics. However, despite decades of research, there are still no good clinical examples of peptide-based antimicrobial drugs for system application.

How DASPMI reveals mitochondrial membrane potential : fluorescence decay kinetics and steady-state anisotropy in living cells [PDF]

, 2008
Spectroscopic responses of the potentiometric probe 2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DASPMI) were investigated in living cells by means of a time- and space-correlated single photon counting technique.

Factors influencing the solubilization of membrane proteins from Escherichia coli membranes by styrene–maleic acid copolymers [PDF]

, 2020
Styrene–maleic acid (SMA) copolymers are a promising alternative to detergents for the solubilization of membrane proteins. Here we employ Escherichia coli membranes containing KcsA as a model protein to investigate the influence of different ...

Involvement of MAPKs and PLC Pathways in Modulation of Pacemaking Activity by So-Cheong-Ryong-Tang in Interstitial Cells of Cajal from Murine Small Intestine

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Purpose. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are the pacemaker cells that generate slow waves in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. We have aimed to investigate the effects of Socheongryong-Tang (SCRT) in ICCs from mouse’s small intestine. Methods.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Solubilization of lipids and membrane proteins into nanodiscs: Mode of action and applications of SMA copolymers [PDF]

, 2016
Cell membranes separate the inside and outside of cells. Membrane proteins in the cell membrane control the traffic of molecules across the membrane and are therefore targets for a lot of drugs: about 50 % of all approved drugs target a membrane protein!
