Lipid bilayers containing porphyin-phospholipid that is chelated with cobalt have been shown to capture his-tagged proteins and peptides. This method offers a simple route for functionalizing pre ...

Only certain cleaners kill norovirus, a leading cause of vomiting, diarrhea and foodborne illness. Why is that?

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Using yeast as a model organism, the researchers explored the molecular mechanisms leading to the degradation of the phospholipid bilayers making up the cell membranes.

They used the assembly line to create a laboratory version of the phospholipid bilayer surrounding all cells, organelles, and vesicles by mass producing synthetic cell-like compartments.

A liposome is a spherical-shaped vesicle that is composed of one or more phospholipid bilayers, which closely resembles the structure of cell membranes. The ability of liposomes to encapsulate ...

Join Douglas Kell, Research Chair in Systems Biology at the University of Liverpool, during this free interactive broadcast to discover how drugs pass through cell membrane solely by hitchhiking on ...

Recent studies on low-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) had shown the effects of competitive van der Waals interactions and in-plane elasticity that influence the local atomic-scale ...

An invaluable tool for analyzing liposomes is Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). Liposomes, a class of nanoparticles, have a phospholipid bilayer wall by which they are characterized. They are ...

All the latest science news on lipid bilayers from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

It wraps around a small segment of the phospholipid bilayer to create the disc-shaped nanodisc. 3 MSP provides a hydrophobic surface for lipid tails and a hydrophilic outer surface, making nanodiscs ...
