Membrane Structure and Function [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1966 An understanding of the biochemical basis of membrane function is an important goal of present day biology. In this paper, a biochemical approach to the problem of the specific transport of sugars across the membrane of Escherichia coli is discussed. A new biochemical model for lactose transport system in this organism is presented, in which a specific

Plantaricin NC8 from Lactobacillus plantarum causes cell membrane disruption to Micrococcus luteus without targeting lipid II [PDF]
, 2018 Plantaricin NC8, a two-peptide non-lantibiotic class IIb bacteriocin composed of PLNC8α and PLNC8β and derived from Lactobacillus plantarum ZJ316, has been shown to be highly potent against a range of bacteria and fungi.

Structure Meets the Membrane [PDF]
Structure, 2011 The number and quality of known membrane protein structures has been steadily increasing over the last decade. By commissioning reviews for the Special Review Collection under the title “Structure Meets the Membrane,” the Editors aim to highlight a number of major advances in the determination of membrane protein structures.The Special Review ...

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,

The structure of melittin in membranes
Biophysical Journal, 1986 The conformation of the polypeptide melittin in lipid membranes as determined by Raman spectroscopy is a bent alpha-helix formed by the mainly hydrophobic residues 1-21, and a nonhelical COOH-terminal segment of the hydrophilic residues 22-26. Fluorescence quenching experiments on residue Trp19 reveal that all COOH-termini are located on that side of a

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 ...

In situ cryo-ET structure of phycobilisome–photosystem II supercomplex from red alga
eLife, 2021 Phycobilisome (PBS) is the main light-harvesting antenna in cyanobacteria and red algae. How PBS transfers the light energy to photosystem II (PSII) remains to be elucidated.

The road not taken: Less traveled roads from the TGN to the plasma membrane [PDF]
, 2015 : The trans-Golgi network functions in the distribution of cargo into different transport vesicles that are destined to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Over the years, it has become clear that more than one transport pathway promotes plasma
