Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1977
Abstract Proteins constitute the largest fraction by weight of most membranes, and their properties are critical to membrane functions. A brief discussion is given of some salient theoretical and experimental advances of the last decade in our understanding of the structures of proteins in membranes, which have led to the fluid mosaic model of ...

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1972
I RECENTLY summarized X-ray diffraction data from some natural membranes to show that the original Danielli-Davson model is not valid for them1. A second widely-discussed structural model, having protein inserted into a lipid bilayer, was put forward as an alternative.

Membrane phosphoinositides and protein–membrane interactions [PDF]
Amino Acids, 2013 Proteins with polybasic clusters bind to negatively charged phosphoinositides at the cell membrane. In this review, I have briefly discussed the types of phosphoinositides naturally found on membrane surfaces and how they recruit protein complexes for carrying out the process of signal transduction.

Lipid Membranes for Membrane Proteins
2014The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of membrane proteins requires the setup of an accurate representation of lipid bilayers. This chapter describes the setup of a lipid bilayer system from scratch using generally available tools, starting with a definition of the lipid molecule POPE, generation of a lipid bilayer, energy minimization, MD simulation,

MCP serves to down-regulate the activation of complement on host tissue. It performs this function by serving as a cofactor for the factor I-mediated cleavage of C3b and C4b. MCP is most likely an intrinsic regulator, i.e., it primarily protects its home cell.

Microseparation of membrane proteins [PDF]
Journal of Separation Science, 2009 AbstractMembrane proteins are generally of natural low abundance and insoluble to aqueous solutions. Thus, investigation of membrane proteins is relatively hampered since efficient separation of membrane proteins are rather challenging. Microseparation approaches certainly play an essential role in fulfilling such demanding investigations due to their ...

Protein-Protein Interactions in Membranes
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2011In this article we review the current status of our understanding of membrane mediated interactions from theory and experiment. Phenomenological mean field and molecular models will be discussed and compared to recent experimental results from dynamical neutron scattering and atomic force microscopy.

Spin Labeling of Membranes and Membrane Proteins [PDF]
, 1984 Electron spin resonance (ESR) or electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has improved during the last 20 years to a powerful technique to derive structural and dynamic information about membranes and membrane components. The source of an ESR signal is an unpaired electron, which may exist intrinsically in a metalloprotein (e.g., cytochrome c oxidase) or ...

Trends in Biotechnology, 1997
Membrane proteins perform many of the essential functions required for life. They are often the targets of medicinal drugs and have many potential uses in biotechnological processes. Therefore our ability to understand them and manipulate their functions is both important and necessary to enable protein engineers to create 'designer' membrane proteins (

Crystallization of membrane proteins
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1983Abstract After a long period of fruitless attempts, three-dimensional crystal of membrane proteins are now available. The best of the crystals are suited for high-resolution structure determination by X-ray crystallography. The use of small detergents and small amphiphilic molecules during crystallization proved to be of great value.
