Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Presence of a Spatially Varying Electric Field at Lipid-Water Interface with Na/K ratio in Water [PDF]
arXivThe ion-lipid interface in Langmuir monolayers of Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) on pure water and 10 mM solutions of Na+ and K+ at different [K+]/[Na+] (a), atom/atom ratios, were studied initially by Surface Pressure (p) versus Specific Molecular Area (A) isotherms.

SAAP‐148 Oligomerizes into a Hexamer Forming a Hydrophobic Inner Core
ChemBioChem, EarlyView.The highly cationic and hydrophobic antimicrobial peptide SAP‐148 effectively eradicates multidrug‐resistant bacteria, persistent cells, and biofilms without inducing resistance. Its efficiency is likely due to its ability to disrupt bacterial membranes as an oligomer, forming a stable alpha‐helical hexameric bundle with three parallel dimers that ...

Use of 31PNMR spectroscopy to follow the time course of phosphatidylcholine chemical synthesis.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1985 31PNMR spectroscopy is shown to be useful for studying the chemical synthesis of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidic acid and choline. Sharp, well-resolved resonances were obtained by chelating multivalent cations, thereby enabling quantitation of ...
