The values of capacitance of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) monolayers on Hg, derived from cyclic voltammetry studies indicate that when the lipids are near the phase ...

Aimed to better understand the molecular mechanisms of its interactions with cell membranes, human erythrocyte and molecular models of the red cell membrane were utilized. The latter consisted of bilayers of dimyristoylp ...

The amyloid ?-peptide (A?) and aluminum have been found, among other components, in the senile plaques from Alzheimer’s disease patients. Aggregated A? and aluminum are toxic to neurons but the mechanism of accumulation ...

In order to gain insight into the molecular mechanism of the antioxidant properties of Solanum crispum, aqueous extracts of its leaves were assayed on human erythrocytes and molecular models of its membrane. Phenolics and ...

The hydration of solid dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) produces a negligible shift in the asymmetric stretching frequency of the phosphate groups in contrast to dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). This suggests ...

The aim of this work is to determine the binding of ionic calcium (Ca2+) to lipid membranes in which the availability of the phosphate groups to the aqueous phase is modified by the degree of saturation of the lipids and ...

El péptido beta amiloide (Aβ) es tóxico para las neuronas. Desde hace más de una década se han examinado los efectos de medicamentos que tienen una acción inhibidora de la acetilcolinesterasa, con lo cual se han mejorado ...
