Structural basis of molecular recognition of the Leishmania Small Hydrophilic Endoplasmic Reticulum-associated Protein (SHERP) at membrane surfaces
(Elsevier, 2011)
The 57-residue small hydrophilic endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein (SHERP) shows highly specific, stageregulated expression in the non-replicative vector-transmitted stages of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania ...
Coupled response of membrane hydration with oscillating metabolism in live cells: An alternative way to modulate structural aspects of biological membranes?
(MDPI AG, 2019-11)
We propose that active metabolic processes may regulate structural changes in biological membranes via the physical state of cell water. This proposition is based on recent results obtained from our group in yeast cells ...
Effect of Fragarin on the Cytoplasmic Membrane of the Phytopathogen Clavibacter michiganensis
(American Phytopathological Society, 2001-12)
Fragarin, an antibiotic that was isolated and purified from a soluble fraction of strawberry leaves, may be a new type of preformed antimicrobial compound (phytoanticipin). Here, we report that the growth and oxygen ...
Membrane composition of jetted lipid vesicles: A Raman spectroscopy study
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2012-01)
Microfluidic jetting is a promising method to produce giant unilamellar phospholipid vesicles for mimicking living cells in biomedical studies. We have investigated the chemical composition of membranes of vesicles prepared ...
Control of membrane lipid homeostasis by lipid-bilayer associated sensors: A mechanism conserved from bacteria to humans
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-10)
The lipid composition of biological membranes is key for cell viability. Nevertheless, and despite their central role in cell function, our understanding of membrane physiology continues to lag behind most other aspects ...
Membrane effects of dihydropyrimidine analogues with larvicidal activity
(Elsevier Science, 2017-02-01)
Two recently synthesized dihydropyrimidines (DHPMs) analogues have demonstrated larvicide and repellent activity against Anopheles arabiensis. DHPMs high lipophilicity suggests that these compounds may interact directly ...
Relevance of the protein macrodipole in the membrane-binding process. Interactions of fatty-acid binding proteins with cationic lipid membranes
(Public Library of Science, 2018-03)
The fatty acid-binding proteins L-BABP and Rep1-NCXSQ bind to anionic lipid membranes by electrostatic interactions. According to Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, the interaction of the protein macrodipole with the ...
A closer look into the physical interactions between lipid membranes and layered double hydroxide nanoparticles
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (LDH-NPs) constitute promising nanocarriers for drug and gene delivery. Although their cell internalization has been studied, the interaction between LDH-NPs and biological membrane ...
