Lateral diffusion induced by active proteins in a biomembrane.
We discuss the hydrodynamic collective effects due to active protein molecules that are immersed in lipid bilayer membranes and modeled as stochastic force dipoles. We specifically take into account the presence of the bulk solvent that surrounds the two-dimensional fluid membrane. Two membrane geometries are considered: the free membrane case and the confined membrane case. Using the generaliz...
متن کاملLateral diffusion of membrane proteins.
We measured the lateral mobility of integral membrane proteins reconstituted in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Receptor, channel, and transporter proteins with 1-36 transmembrane segments (lateral radii ranging from 0.5 to 4 nm) and a alpha-helical peptide (radius of 0.5 nm) were fluorescently labeled and incorporated into GUVs. At low protein-to...
متن کاملConstructive role of noise in signal transmissions by biomembrane proteins.
We discuss new examples of the constructive role of environmental fluctuations in biophysical processes, namely quantitative enhancement and qualitative sharpening of the outgoing signal in the intercellular signal transduction, e.g., in the synaptic links. An experimental check in a chemical flow reactor is suggested.
متن کاملNanobiomechanics of proteins and biomembrane.
A review of the work done in the Laboratory of Biodynamics of Tokyo Institute of Technology in the last decade has been summarized in this article in relation to the results reported from other laboratories. The emphasis here is the application of nanomechanics based on the force mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to proteins and protein-based biological structures. Globular proteins were st...
متن کاملBiomembrane Perturbation Induced by Xenobiotics in Model and Living Systems
This work reports on studies concerning with the interaction of important environmental contaminants, such as organotins, with model and biological systems. Organometallic compounds are synthesized and used for applications in industry and agriculture. Moreover, some organometallics can be directly formed in the environment by the action of microbial agents on inorganic precursors. Because of t...
