15 صفحه اولMicron-sized domains in quasi single-component giant vesicles
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), are a convenient tool to study membrane-bound processes using optical microscopy. An increasing number of studies highlights the potential of these model membranes when addressing questions in membrane biophysics and cell-biology. Among them, phase transitions and domain formation, dynamics and stability in raft-like mixtures are probably some of the most inte...
متن کاملSoftening of POPC membranes by magainin.
Magainin 2 belongs to the family of peptides, which interacts with the lipid membranes. The present work deals with the effect of this peptide on the mechanical properties of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine Giant Unilamellar Vesicle, characterized by the bending stiffness modulus. The bending elastic modulus is measured by Vesicle Fluctuation Analysis at biologically relevant ...
متن کاملN-Ras forms dimers at POPC membranes.
Ras is a central regulator of cellular signaling pathways. It is mutated in 20-30% of human tumors. To perform its function, Ras has to be bound to a membrane by a posttranslationally attached lipid anchor. Surprisingly, we identified here dimerization of membrane anchored Ras by combining attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, biomolecular simulations, and Förste...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
