Photoelectric Characterization of Bacteriorhodopsin Reconstituted in Lipid Bilayer Membrane
… was reconstituted in a bi-layer membrane. Then, when a laser beam was shined on the membrane, the photon energy was used by the protein to pump protons across the membrane. The translocation of protons across the membrane was measured as photocurrent. For this purpose, a system …

Electro-deformation of a moving boundary: a drop interface and a lipid bilayer membrane
… current (AC) electric field. The vesicle membrane is modeled as a thin capacitive spheroidal shell and the equilibrium vesicle shape is computed from balancing the mechanical forces between the fluid, the membrane and the imposed electric field. Detailed comparison against both experiments …

Efficient coarse-grained brownian dynamics simulations for dna and lipid bilayer membrane with hydrodynamic interactions
… data and previous simulation results. (2) Lipid bilayer membranes have been extensively studied by CGMD simulations. Numerical efficiencies have been reported in the cases of aggressive coarse-graining, where several lipids are coarse-grained into a particle of size 4 ~ 6 nm so that there …

BIOMIMETIC MEMBRANES EMBEDDED WITH AQUAPORIN Z FOR WATER REUSE AND DESALINATION
… a robust and highly permeable yet selective membrane for water purification has gained much attention worldwide in recent years. This thesis presents a systematic study on the design and fabrication of AquaporinZ (AqpZ)-embedded biomimetic membrane. Firstly, the mechanical property of the …

Elucidating the Relation between Human Milk Fatty Acids, Extracellular Vesicles, and Infant Developmental Outcomes in the First Year of Life
… vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles containing a lipid bilayer membrane and are present in human milk. Methods of EV isolation such as ultracentrifugation (UC) may not be feasible for the study of EVs in human milk due to the need for large sample volume, which may not be available. The objectives …

Elucidation of antigenic epitopes on the rubella virus E1 glycoprotein
… family. The virus consists of a host derived lipid bilayer membrane, membrane glycoprotein spikes, and the C protein which together with viral RNA forms the icosahedral nucleocapsid. Although clinical rubella is a relatively mild disease, RV remains an important human pathogen because of its …

Characterizing Oxylipins in Human Milk Extracellular Vesicles
… vesicles (EVs) are non-replicating lipid bilayer membrane-bound particle formed by a parent cell and secreted into the extracellular environment. EVs in human milk are bioavailable and influence physiologic pathways that may contribute to newborn growth and development. There is …

Transport properties of DNA nanostructures
… on top of a solid-state support or embedded in a lipid bilayer membrane. However, the transport properties of DNA nanostructures and the underlying mechanism have remained relatively unexplored. Here, several simulation studies focusing on the transport properties of DNA nanostructures are pre- …

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Interfacial Effects on Protein Conformation
… the interaction of polypeptides with solvent and lipid environments; technological applications rely on the interaction of polypeptides with inorganic substrates. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide a means by which these interactions may be examined in atomic-level detail, offering …

Novel In-Vitro Approaches to Investigate Membrane Partitioning and pH-Dependent Passive Permeation of Small Molecule Drugs
… of drug molecules through biological membranes is a fundamentally important process that involves the partitioning of molecules into the lipid bilayer membrane and passive permeation across the membrane. The majority of the drug molecules are either weak bases or acids. For these …
