Membrane 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...
متن کاملAdventures with membrane lipids.
It is a very great honour to have been awarded the Biochemical Society’s Morton Lectureship for 1994. T o be chosen by one’s peers for an award of this stature is indeed the ultimate reward for one’s life’s work, even more so when one considers the high level of achievement reached by Professor R.A. Morton himself and by the previous awardees. This award is particularly gratifying to me in reca...
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 Lipids and the Conformations of Membrane Proteins
The general relations between protein conformation and the optical activity of peptide chromophores are outlined and applied to the analysis of the optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism of the plasma membranes of human erythrocytes and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. It is concluded that the proteins of these membranes are "globular" and that they have considerable helical content...
