Calcium Carbonate Particle Growth Depending on Coupling among Adjacent Layers in Hybrid LB/LbL Films
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2008)
There are practical and academic situations that justify the study of calcium carbonate crystallization and especially of systems that are associated with organic matrices and a confined medium. Despite the fact that many ...
Mitochondrial acyltransferases and glycerophospholipid metabolism
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01)
Our understanding of the synthesis and remodeling of mitochondrial phospholipids remains incomplete. Two isoforms of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT1 and 2) and two isoforms of acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase ...
Suppression of pleiotropic effects of functional cryptochrome genes by Terminal Flower 1
(Genetics Soc Am, 2008-09)
TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) encodes a protein with similarity to animal phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins and is required for normal trafficking to the protein storage vacuole. In Arabidopsis thaliana the tfl1 mutation ...
Mitochondrial lipids in Bufo arenarum full-grown oocytes
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-05)
Both the content and composition of polar and neutral lipids from the mitochondrial fraction of ovarian full-grown Bufo arenarum oocytes were analysed in the present study. Triacylglycerols (TAG) represent 33% of the total ...
The antimicrobial peptide microcin J25 stabilizes the gel phase of bacterial model membranes
(Elsevier Science, 2015-05)
The bacterial membrane interaction of the antimicrobial peptide microcin J25 was studied with the probe-free techniques Langmuir monolayers and infrared spectroscopy. Membrane model systems composed by phosphatidylethano ...
Antioxidant and Emulsifying Properties of Modified Sunflower Lecithin by Fractionation with Ethanol-Water Mixtures
(IntechOpen, 2013)
Lecithins are a mixture of acetone insoluble phospholipids, containing mainly phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA), and other minor substances such as ...
Dioctadecyldimethylammonium:Monoolein Nanocarriers for Efficient in Vitro Gene Silencing
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2014-05-14)
This study describes a novel liposomal formulation for siRNA delivery, based on the mixture of the neutral lipid mono olein (MO) and cationic lipids of the dioctadecyldimethylammonium (DODA) family. The cationic lipids ...
PE and PS lipids synergistically enhance membrane poration by a peptide with anticancer properties
(Elsevier B. V., 2015-09-01)
Polybia-MP1 (MP1) is a bioactive host-defense peptide with known anticancer properties. Its activity is attributed to excess serine (phosphatidylserine (PS)) on the outer leaflet of cancer cells. Recently, higher quantities ...
Biophysical Studies of TOAC Analogs of the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha Antimicrobial Peptide Using Liposomes
(2022-06-01)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are innate components of the defense system of many forms of life, composing the first line of defense from invading pathogens. Among many AMPs described in several databases, the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha ...
The major Thiobacillus ferrooxidans outer membrane protein forms low conductance ion channels in planar lipid bilayers
(1992)
A protein isolated and purified from the outer membrane of the acidophilic, chemolithotrophic bacterium, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans with an oligomeric molecular weight of 90 000 Da (p9O) was incorporated into phosphatidyl ...
