Effect of Surface-Immobilized States of Antimicrobial Peptides on Their Ability to Disrupt Bacterial Cell Membrane Structure [PDF]
Journal of Functional BiomaterialsAntimicrobial peptide (AMP) surfaces are widely used to inhibit biofilm formation and bacterial infection. However, endpoint-immobilized AMPs on surfaces are totally different from free-state AMPs due to the constraints of the surface.

A Brief Introduction to Some Aspects of the Fluid–Mosaic Model of Cell Membrane Structure and Its Importance in Membrane Lipid Replacement [PDF]
Membranes, 2021 Early cell membrane models placed most proteins external to lipid bilayers in trimolecular structures or as modular lipoprotein units. These thermodynamically untenable structures did not allow lipid lateral movements independent of membrane proteins ...

Coupling of melanocyte signaling and mechanics by caveolae is required for human skin pigmentation
Nature Communications, 2020 Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations playing crucial functions, like signal transduction and mechanoprotection. Here, the authors show that caveolae contribute to skin pigmentation by integrating the biochemical and mechanical response of epidermal

Structures of membrane proteins [PDF]
Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 2010 AbstractIn reviewing the structures of membrane proteins determined up to the end of 2009, we present in words and pictures the most informative examples from each family. We group the structures together according to their function and architecture to provide an overview of the major principles and variations on the most common themes.

Cryo-EM structure of human glucose transporter GLUT4
Nature Communications, 2022 Small solute carriers remain difficult to study by single particle cryo-EM. Here, the authors report the cryo-EM structure of human insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 (55 kDa) without rigid soluble domains or binders.
