Computational model for membrane transporters: Potential implications for cancer
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-22)
To explain the increased transport of nutrients and metabolites and to control the movement of drug molecules through the transporters to the cancer cells, it is important to understand the exact mechanism of their structure ...
Reconstitution reveals how myosin-VI self- organises to generate a dynamic mechanism of membrane sculpting
(Springer, 2019-07)
One enigma in biology is the generation, sensing and maintenance of membrane curvature. Curvature-mediating proteins have been shown to induce specific membrane shapes by direct insertion and nanoscopic scaffolding, while ...
Enterodiol is actively transported by rat Liver cell membranes
(Springer, 2018-08)
The interaction of enterodiol and the well-described polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with hepatic membranes has been matter of interest in the last few years. On one hand, EGCG is only able to bind to the ...
Procyanidins can interact with Caco-2 cell membrane lipid rafts: involvement of cholesterol
(Elsevier Science, 2013-11)
Large procyanidins (more than three subunits) are not absorbed at the gastrointestinal tract but could exert local effects through their interactions with membranes. We previously showed that hexameric procyanidins (Hex), ...
Measuring molecular order for lipid membrane phase studies: Linear relationship between Laurdan generalized polarization and deuterium NMR order parameter
(Elsevier Science, 2019-12)
Two dimensional phase separation in lipid membranes and cell membranes is of interest to biology because of the idea of membrane rafts — compositionally heterogeneous liquid crystal domains with cellular functions. Few ...
Lipids, membranes, colloids and cells: A long view
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
This paper revisits long-standing ideas about biological membranes in the context of an equally long-standing, but hitherto largely unappreciated, perspective of the cell based on concepts derived from the physics and ...
Molecular features of nonionic detergents involved in the binding kinetics and solubilization efficiency, as studied in model (Langmuir films) and biological (Erythrocytes) membranes
(Elsevier Science, 2018-06-01)
The effect of the nonionic detergents Brij-98 and Brij-58 over human erythrocytes was studied through quantitative hemolysis and in Langmuir films. Hemolytic tests revealed that Brijs are stronger membrane solubilizers ...
Biodiesel wastewater treatment using nanofiltration membranes
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2021-04)
Water reclamation and reuse are economically and environmentally important issues for industries. Costly and ineffective treatments such as coagulation, flocculation, and/or biological treatment are the most widely used ...
