Application of NBD-Labeled Lipids in Membrane and Cell Biology
The fluorescent NBD group has come a long way in terms of biological applications since its discovery a few decades back. Although the field of fluorescently labeled lipids has grown over the years with the introduction of new fluorescent labels, NBD-labeled lipids continue to be a popular choice in membrane and cell biological studies due to desirable fluorescence characteristics of the NBD gr...
متن کاملIntroducing Membrane Charge and Membrane Potential to T Cell Signaling
While membrane models now include the heterogeneous distribution of lipids, the impact of membrane charges on regulating the association of proteins with the plasma membrane is often overlooked. Charged lipids are asymmetrically distributed between the two leaflets of the plasma membrane, resulting in the inner leaflet being negatively charged and a surface potential that attracts and binds pos...
متن کاملEnzyme function and membrane lipids.
Biomembranes are built upon a lipid bimolecular ' matrix and intrinsic membrane enzymes can penetrate partially or totally span this bilayer, e.g. the cytochrome oxidase (Frey et al., 1978). Protein-lipid interactions are therefore important for such enzymes, determining their organization and their function (Gennis & Jonas, 1977; Sandermann, 1978; Chapman et al., 1979). In recent years an incr...
متن کاملLipids and Membrane Lateral Organization
Shortly after the elucidation of the very basic structure and properties of cellular membranes, it became evident that cellular membranes are highly organized structures with multiple and multi-dimensional levels of order. Very early observations suggested that the lipid components of biological membranes might be active players in the creation of these levels of order. In the late 1980s, sever...
متن کاملMembrane traffic: Cycling lipids
One of the more fascinating problems in biology is to understand the nerve signalling that enables us to think and feel. The transmission of nerve impulses across synapses is accomplished by the release of signalling molecules, known as neurotransmitters, at nerve terminals. Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles and, after the nerve has received the appropriate stimulus, they are re...
