Biomimetic approaches for studying membrane processes.
This short review focuses on recent innovative systems and experimental approaches designed to investigate membrane processes and biomolecular interactions associated with membranes. Our emphasis is on "biomimetics" which reflects the significance and contributions of the chemistry/biology interface in addressing complex biological questions. We have not limited this review to discussion of new...
متن کاملCyPLOS: a new family of synthetic ionophores.
The ion transport properties of a new family of synthetic ionophores based on cyclic phosphate-linked oligosaccharide (CyPLOS) macrocycles are described.
متن کاملBiomimetic, synthetic HDL nanostructures for lymphoma.
New therapies that challenge existing paradigms are needed for the treatment of cancer. We report a nanoparticle-enabled therapeutic approach to B-cell lymphoma using synthetic high density lipoprotein nanoparticles (HDL-NPs). HDL-NPs are synthesized using a gold nanoparticle template to control conjugate size and ensure a spherical shape. Like natural HDLs, biomimetic HDL-NPs target scavenger ...
متن کاملMembrane interaction of polymyxin B and synthetic analogues studied in biomimetic systems: Implications for antibacterial action
Membrane-active antimicrobial peptides, such as polymyxin B (PxB), are currently in the spotlight as potential candidates to overcome bacterial resistance. We have designed synthetic analogs of PxB in order to determine the structural requirements for membrane action. Since the mechanism of action of PxB involves interaction with both the outer membrane and the cytoplasmic membrane of Gram nega...
متن کاملScale-up Strategies for Membrane-Based Desalination Processes: A Review
Membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. Indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...
