Only certain cleaners kill norovirus, a leading cause of vomiting, diarrhea and foodborne illness. Why is that?
The transmembrane area, which interacts directly with the phospholipid bilayer, is a critical link between two environments, allowing for the transit of ions and molecules as well as conveying ...
It is related to the membrane electric dipole potential, generated by the unique architecture of the phospholipid bilayers. Aposense develops first-in-class Molecular NanoMotors (MNMs ...
PDAT enzymes use membrane phospholipids as direct fatty acid donors to generate triglycerides stored in lipid droplets. This ...
We are also exploring the cause and consequences of anionic phospholipid exposure in blood cells. Anionic phospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine, are normally present in the inner leaflet of ...
Noël, I. Marcotte, C. DeWolf, D. Warschawski, E. Boisselier (2020) AHNAK C-terminal peptide membrane binding - Interactions between the residues 5654-5673 of AHNAK and phospholipid monolayers and ...
Non-enveloped viruses don't have or need a phospholipid bilayer, and they can survive much longer on surfaces without invading a host cell. (Norovirus can survive for days or weeks on surfaces ...
