Specificity of Interaction of Antimicrobial Peptide with Cell Membrane
… AMPs primarily target bacterial cell membranes. Their hydrophobic side chains contribute both to membrane interaction and to peptide stability. This study investigates the interactions of a series of small AMPs with liposomes mimicking bacterial membranes (DOPC/DOPG, 7:3 molar ratio) …

Investigation of Single-Cell and Blood-Brain Barrier Mechanics after Electroporation and in Primary Brain Cancers
… a phenomenon characterized by increased cell membrane permeability, also can cause significant changes to cell and tissue mechanics. Here, we investigate the mechanics of brain and brain cancer cells, specifically focusing on how PEFs impact cell mechanics and PEF-induced blood-brain barrier …

Structural basis of membrane targeting and regulation of the innate immunity adaptor TIRAP by its phosphoinositide-binding motif
… motif (PBM) that mediates the membrane recruitment of TIRAP. Upon ligand activation, TLRs are recruited to the phosphoinositide (PIP)-enriched region in the membrane, where TIRAP recruits other adaptors to the membrane to activate TLR signaling pathway. To investigate the …

Interaction of alpha-synuclein with nanoscale systems that mimic synaptic vesicles
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2025-08-01

Structural investigations of membrane-interacting proteins using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and other biophysical techniques
… its function as well as its interactions with membrane and other proteins. Aberrant protein expression or disruption in protein-protein/protein-membrane interactions lead to disease formation. Membrane-interacting proteins play critical roles in a wide range of biological processes and their …
