To build their self-reproduction structures, the team began with an aqueous solution containing monomers to be polymerized, a ...

Membrane lipids consist primarily of phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol, which can be arranged in bilayers and organized ... Using transiently stable phospholipid mimics, it is now shown ...

The present molecular dynamics simulations together with time-dependent fluorescence shift experiments suggest that the mode and strength of interaction of calcium ion with a phospholipid bilayer ...

In the present work, we explore phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs as membrane mimics and employ electron microscopy and solution NMR spectroscopy to characterize the structure and function of the human ...

By means of electrostatic interactions, negatively charged nucleic acids bind to cationic lipids to form lipoplexes capable of penetrating the transfected cell by endocytosis or fusion with the ...

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

Endogenous intracellular allosteric modulators of GPCRs remain largely unexplored, with limited binding and phenotype data available. This gap arises from the lack of robust computational methods for ...

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of carbon atoms—as one of the greatest discoveries of the last 20 years ...

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method has been popular and powerful for characterizing soil microbial communities over decades. However, little is known about efficiencies of acidic vs. alkaline ...
