Protein diffusion in plant cell plasma membranes: The cell-wall corral
Studying protein diffusion informs us about how proteins interact with their environment. Work on protein diffusion over the last several decades has illustrated the complex nature of biological lipid bilayers.

Lipid Organization of the Plasma Membrane
The detailed organization of cellular membranes remains rather elusive. Based on large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we provide a high-resolution view of the lipid organization of a plasma membrane at an unprecedented level of complexity. Our plasma membrane model consists of 63 different lipid species, combining 14 types of headgroups and 11 ...

Plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase is a transport protein that is generally located on the plasma membrane and generates energy by hydrolyzing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to pump hydrogen ions (H+) in the cytoplasm out of the cell against a concentration ...

Plasma Membrane-Associated Restriction Factors and Their Counteraction by HIV-1 Accessory Proteins
The plasma membrane is a site of conflict between host defenses and many viruses. One aspect of this conflict is the host’s attempt to eliminate infected cells using innate and adaptive cell-mediated immune mechanisms that recognize features of the

Ligands, their receptors and … plasma membranes
Ligand-receptor interactions are customarily described by equations that apply to solutes. Yet, most receptors are present in cell membranes so that sufficiently lipophilic ligands could reach the receptor by a two-dimensional approach within the membrane.

A quantitative study of the adipocyte plasma membrane under the influence of lipolytic or lipogenic hormones has been carried out by freeze-fracture. The number of plasma membrane invaginations (so-called pinocytosis) and of intramembranous particles was

Quantitative changes in adipocyte plasma membrane in response to nutritional manipulations.
The effects of changes in adipocyte size and the effects of nutritional manipulations on the quantity of plasma membrane per adipocyte were investigated. A method for estimating the quantity of plasma membrane was developed based on the specific labeling

Computational estimates of membrane flow and tension gradient in motile cells. [PDF]
All parts of motile cells, including the plasma membrane, have to translocate in the direction of locomotion. Both directed intracellular membrane transport coupled with polarized endo- and exocytosis and fluid flow in the plane of the plasma membrane ...
