A reversibly gated protein-transporting membrane channel made of DNA
Artificial systems to control the transport of molecules across biomembranes can be useful for biosensing or drug delivery. Here, the authors assemble a DNA channel enabling the precisely timed, stimulus-controlled transport of functional proteins across

Tuning ubiquinone position in biomimetic monolayer membranes [PDF]
Artificial lipid bilayers have been extensively studied as models that mimic natural membranes (biomimetic membranes). Several attempts of biomimetic membranes inserting ubiquinone (UQ) have been performed to enlighten which the position of UQ in the ...

Spatial arrangement of proteins in planar and curved membranes by PPM 3.0
Cellular protrusions, invaginations, and many intracellular organelles have strongly curved membrane regions. Transmembrane and peripheral membrane proteins that induce, sense, or stabilize such regions cannot be properly fitted into a single flat ...

CRC 1114 - Report Membrane Deformation by N-BAR Proteins: Extraction of membrane geometry and protein diffusion characteristics from MD simulations [PDF]
We describe simulations of Proteins and artificial pseudo-molecules interacting and shaping lipid bilayer membranes. We extract protein diffusion Parameters, membrane deformation profiles and the elastic properties of the used membrane models in ...

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

Preparation of artificial plasma membrane mimicking vesicles with lipid asymmetry. [PDF]
Lipid asymmetry, the difference in lipid distribution across the lipid bilayer, is one of the most important features of eukaryotic cellular membranes.

Catalytic molecularly imprinted polymer membranes: Development of the biomimetic sensor for phenols detection [PDF]
Portable biomimetic sensor devices for the express control of phenols content in water were developed. The synthetic binding sites mimicking active site of the enzyme tyrosinase were formed in the structure of free-standing molecularly imprinted ...
