The growing use of nanoparticles in a variety of applications calls for detailed studies of their toxicology, which in turn require understanding the interactions between nanoparticles and living cells. Since simulating ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lytic peptides are rich in cationic and hydrophobic residues that form amphipathic α-helix when in contact with lipid bilayers. Evidence showed that they act on the lipidic phase of the cell membranes, inserting into the ...

There is a great demand to develop different techniques for the continuous removal, immobilization, and remediation of metallic ions from contaminated water. Human contamination by metallic ions could even occur by ingestion ...
