Electropore Formation in Mechanically Constrained Phospholipid Bilayers
(Springer, 2017-11)
Molecular dynamics simulations of lipid bilayers in aqueous systems reveal how an applied electric field stabilizes the reorganization of the water–membrane interface into water-filled, membrane-spanning, conductive pores ...
Gramicidin ion channels in a lipid bilayer supported on polyelectrolyte multilayer films: An electrochemical impedance study
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-11)
Supported membranes on polymer cushions are of fundamental interest as models for cell membranes. The use of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) assembled by the layer by layer (LbL) technique as supports for a bilayer ...
Cholesterol modulates curcumin partitioning and membrane effects
(2018-01-01)
Curcumin, a polyphenol molecule, presents a wide range of biological activities as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and wound healing. Although some strengths attributed to curcumin derive from ...
About the measurement of dynamic mechanical properties of bi-layer systems
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2004-12)
The bi-layer system has been well developed for many engineering structural components in the aircraft, automotive, microelectronics and modern space industries in the last few decades. Consequently, a good determination ...
Preferential location of prilocaine and etidocaine in phospholipid bilayers: A molecular dynamics study
(Elsevier B.V. Sa, 2009-11-01)
In this work, we report a 20-ns constant pressure molecular dynamics simulation of the uncharged form of two amino-amide local anesthetics (LA). etidocaine and prilocaine, present at 1:3 LA:lipid, molar ratio inside the ...
Bilayer segmentation of live video in uncontrolled environments for background substitution: an overview and main challenges
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INCPiscataway, 2012)
Bilayer segmentation of live video in uncontrolled environments is an essential task for home applications in which the original background of the scene must be replaced, as in videochats or traditional videoconference. ...
Microcin E492 forms ion channels in phospholipid bilayer membranes
(1993)
Microcin E492, a polypeptide antibiotic, has been shown to have an Mr, of 6,000 by urea-SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the fluorescently labelled compound. It is known that the bactericidal action of microcin ...
Bi-layer materials based on thermoplastic corn starch, polylactic acid and modified polypropylene
Currently, the development of environmentally friendly materials with suitable properties for industrial use has become ofgreat importance. In this work, bilayer materials were developed by assembling ...
Chitosan derivatives targeting lipid bilayers: Synthesis, biological activity and interaction with model membranes
(2017-01-01)
The antimicrobial activity of chitosan and derivatives to human and plant pathogens represents a high-valued prospective market. Presently, two low molecular weight derivatives, endowed with hydrophobic and cationic character ...
