How Does Carbon Dioxide Permeate Cell Membranes?A discussion of concepts, results and methods.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
We review briefly how the thinking about the permeation of gases, especially CO2, across cell and artificial lipid membranes has evolved during the last hundred years.

Rational ion transport management mediated through membrane structures

open access: yesExploration, 2021
Unique membrane structures endow membranes with controlled ion transport properties in both biological and artificial systems, and they have shown broad application prospects from industrial production to biological interfaces.

Comparison of the α and β isomeric forms of the detergent n-dodecyl-D-maltoside for solubilizing photosynthetic complexes from pea thylakoid membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mild non-ionic detergents are indispensable in the isolation of intact integral membrane proteins and protein-complexes from biological membranes. Dodecylmaltoside (DM) belongs to this class of detergents being a glucoside-based surfactant with a bulky ...

Prospecting the protein design landscape

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Validating Membrane Ageing Protocols: A Real‐World Perspective on Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Degradation

open access: yesChemElectroChem
Membranes are essential for an efficient and stable long‐term operation of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Membrane degradation is one of the main limiting factors for VRFB lifetime because of the resulting increase in electrolyte crossover and ...

Preparation of artificial plasma membrane mimicking vesicles with lipid asymmetry. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Lipid asymmetry, the difference in lipid distribution across the lipid bilayer, is one of the most important features of eukaryotic cellular membranes.

Identifying and Manipulating Giant Vesicles: Review of Recent Approaches

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
Giant vesicles (GVs) are closed bilayer membranes that primarily comprise amphiphiles with diameters of more than 1 μm. Compared with regular vesicles (several tens of nanometers in size), GVs are of greater scientific interest as model cell membranes ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

A Practical Guide to Preparation and Applications of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Formed via Centrifugation of Water-in-Oil Emulsion Droplets

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
Giant vesicles (GVs), which are closed lipid bilayer membranes with a diameter of more than 1 μm, have attracted attention not only as model cell membranes but also for the construction of artificial cells.
