Polyvalent carbocyanine molecular beacons for molecular recognitions.
Polyvalent carboxylate-terminating near-infrared (NIR) carbocyanine molecular beacons were prepared by homologation of reactive carboxyl groups of the beacon with imino diacetic acid. Their conjugation with unprotected d-(+)-glucosamine gave dendritic arrays of the carbohydrate on an inner NIR chromophore core. In vivo evaluation of the dendritic glucosamine constructs shows enhanced uptake in ...
متن کاملStructural basis of diverse membrane target recognitions by ankyrins
Ankyrin adaptors together with their spectrin partners coordinate diverse ion channels and cell adhesion molecules within plasma membrane domains and thereby promote physiological activities including fast signaling in the heart and nervous system. Ankyrins specifically bind to numerous membrane targets through their 24 ankyrin repeats (ANK repeats), although the mechanism for the facile and in...
متن کاملLipid molecular species retailoring and membrane fluidity.
on cell morphology, i.e. the formation of stomatocytes, when the native mixed-acid PC species in the monolayer are replaced by (1,2-dilinoleoyl)-PC (Fig. 1). This species has a pronounced cone shape because of a larger cross-section at the end of its hydrophobic tails. Consequently, the outer monolayer, and thereby the whole membrane, will bend inwards. Further support for the above hypothesis ...
متن کاملMembrane-lipid therapy: a new approach in molecular medicine.
Although most drugs bind to proteins and regulate their activity, some drugs act through a new therapeutic approach called membrane-lipid therapy and bind to lipids, thus modulating the structure of membranes. Most cellular functions are highly dependent on the lipid environment because they are controlled by proteins in or around membranes. The wide variety of cell and organelle membranes and ...
متن کاملHigh-temperature molecular dynamics simulation of lipid membrane bilayers
9 10 In this work we investigated the molecular dynamics of palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine 11 and palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine membrane bilayers enforced by single-wall 12 carbon nanotube using classical molecular dynamics simulation. We have considered that an 13 insertion of a single-wall carbon nanotube in the center of lipid membrane “strengthens” ambient 14 lipids and pr...
