Effects of photodynamic inactivation mediated by Zn(II) porphyrin on promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis
(Sociedade Brasileira de Bioqu??mica e Biologia Molecular (SBBq), 2022)
Alzheimer’s Disease as a Membrane Disorder: Spatial Cross-Talk Among Beta-Amyloid Peptides, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Lipid Rafts
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-07-18)
Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol (Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid-ordered microdomains (raft domains), ...
Host-membrane interacting interface of the SARS coronavirus envelope protein: Immense functional potential of C-terminal domain
he Envelope (E) protein in SARS Coronavirus (CoV) is a small structural protein, incorporated as part of
the envelope. A major fraction of the protein has been known to be associated with the host membranes,
particularly ...
The action of sphingomyelinase in lipid monolayers as revealed by microscopic image analysis
(2010)
In recent years, new evidence in biomembrane research brought about a holistic, supramolecular view on membrane-mediated signal transduction. The consequences of sphingomyelinase (SMase)-driven formation of ceramide (Cer) ...
Quercetin induces lipid domain-dependent permeability
(2022-01-01)
Quercetin is a polyphenolic molecule with a broad spectrum of biological activities derived from its antioxidant property. Its mechanism of action has been explained by its binding and/or interference with enzymes, receptors, ...
Spin label EPR suggests the presence of cholesterol rich domains in cultured insect cell membranes
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Different spin labels were incorporated to the membranes of cultured insect UFL-AG-286 cells in order to characterize their physical properties by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy (EPR). The spectrum of the ...
Probing Thermotropic Phase Behavior of Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine Bilayers from Electrical and Topographic Data in a Horizontal Black Lipid Membrane Model
(American Chemical Society, 2020-02)
Here, a homemade device allowed preparing horizontal lipid bilayer membranes (hBLMs) for recording electrical and topographical data simultaneously and in real-time, under temperature (T)-controlled conditions along a ...
Lipid hydroperoxidation effect on the dynamical evolution of the conductance process in bilayer lipid membranes: A condition toward criticality
(American Chemical Society, 2020-08-04)
Cell membranes are one of the main targets of oxidative processes mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). These chemical species interact with unsaturated fatty acids of membrane lipids, triggering an autocatalytic chain ...
