Insights into the Influence of Membrane Permeability and Structure on Osmotically-Driven Membrane Processes

, 2021
The success of osmotically-driven membrane (OM) technology relies critically on high-performance membranes. Yet trade-off of membrane properties, often further complicated by the strongly non-linear dependence of OM performance on them, imposes important

Lipidomics in research on yeast membrane lipid homeostasis [PDF]

, 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 ...

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

, 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

The structure of Herpesvirus Fusion Glycoprotein B-Bilayer Complex reveals the protein-membrane and lateral protein-protein interaction [PDF]

, 2013
Glycoprotein B (gB) is a key component of the complex herpesvirus fusion machinery. We studied membrane interaction of two gB ectodomain forms and present an electron cryotomography structure of the gB-bilayer complex.

Incorporation of barium titanate nanoparticles in piezoelectric PVDF membrane

, 2021
The micro-vibration of piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes has been shown to mitigate fouling. To improve the desired piezoelectric properties, piezoelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles (NPs) were incorporated into PVDF ...

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 ...

The endosomal Q-SNARE, Syntaxin 7, defines a rapidly replenishing synaptic vesicle recycling pool in hippocampal neurons

Communications Biology, 2021
Yasunori Mori et al. find that a subset of neurotransmitter-bearing synaptic vesicles are marked for release by the endosomal Q-SNARE protein Stx7. They show that Stx7 function is necessary for the rapid replenishment of synaptic vesicles that is needed ...

Structure determination of membrane-located complexes: Aquaporin 8 and YscC secretin [PDF]

, 2011
A biological membrane is key to the life of a cell. In all living cells a biological membrane separates a inner life and an outer environment. Plasma membrane has many functions such as responding to external signals and transmitting them into the cell,
