An Anticoagulant Coating Based on a Block Phosphocholine Copolymer for Potential Applications in Blood Contact Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Anticoagulant properties are critical for blood‐compatible materials, and anticoagulant coatings are a common key issue for blood‐contacting medical devices. In this study, a block copolymer poly(2‐methacrylenoxyethyl phosphocholine‐b‐glycidyl) (PMPC‐b‐GMA) is synthesized, using reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) and

The effect of desiccation on viability and membrane lipid composition of Acer pseudoplatanus seeds

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The viability of desiccation-intolerant sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) seeds during desiccation was investigated by tetrazolium and by a germinability test, together with membrane permeability and membrane phospholipid composition.

Chemistry of phospholipid oxidation

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2012
The oxidation of lipids has long been a topic of interest in biological and food sciences, and the fundamental principles of non-enzymatic free radical attack on phospholipids are well established, although questions about detail of the mechanisms remain.

Lipid‐Hybrid Multicompartment Membrane Systems for Controlled, Compartmentalized Encapsulant Release

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Herein a bio‐inspired, lipid‐hybrid‐based multicompartmental material for scalable (milliliter) microencapsulation (20 – 200 µm) and controlled release of aqueous solutions is presented. The multicompartmental architecture provides non‐mixing environments, spatial patterning of encapsulants, and controlled compartmentalized release by surfactant ...

Equilibrium insertion of nanoscale objects into phospholipid bilayers [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Nanoscience, 7(5), pp.721-726 (2011), 2011
Certain membrane proteins, peptides, nanoparticles and nanotubes have rigid structure and fixed shape. They are often viewed as spheres and cylinders with certain surface properties. Single Chain Mean Field theory is used to model the equilibrium insertion of nanoscale spheres and rods into the phospholipid bilayer.

A New Type of LSPR Sensor Featuring Immobilized Liposome or Phospholipid Single Layer

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
We have fabricated a new type of LSPR sensor featuring immobilized liposome or phospholipid single layer. LSPR principally shows an ultrahigh sensitivity on surface dielectric environmental change due to interaction with target, but little has been ...

Preferential Membrane Remodeling on Curved Biointerfaces Induced by Conjugated Oligoelectrolyte

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explores how membrane shape influences the interaction of conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) with lipid bilayers. Using a curved biointerface composed of nanobar arrays and supported lipid bilayers, it is revealed that COE intercalation preferentially remodels curved regions, forming distinct structures. These findings highlight the role of

Phospholipid scramblase: An update

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2010
The best understood consequence of the collapse of lipid asymmetry is exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) in the external leaflet of the plasma membrane bilayer, where it is known to serve at least two major functions: providing a platform for development of the blood coagulation cascade and presenting the signal that induces phagocytosis of apoptotic ...

Biomimetic Orthogonal Removal of Arylacyl Protecting Groups from the C‐Terminus of Substituted Amino Acids and Oligopeptides via Flavin N(5)‐iminium Covalent Adducts

open access: yesAdvanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Flavin co‐factors and other flavin derivatives are traditionally associated with one‐ or two‐electron redox reactions. Flavins also form covalent intermediates with a variety of substrates. While extensive attention has focused on reactions at the C(4a) position of the flavin ring, recent interest has shifted toward the dynamic potential of ...
