Structure and electrical properties of DNA nanotubes embedded in lipid bilayer membranes
Engineering the synthetic nanopores through lipid bilayer membrane to access the interior of a cell is a long persisting challenge in biotechnology. Here, we demonstrate the stability and dynamics of a tile-based 6-helix DNA nanotube (DNT) embedded in POPC lipid bilayer using the analysis of 0.2 μs long equilibrium MD simulation trajectories. We observe that the head groups of the lipid molecul...
متن کاملChloride Transport in Porous Lipid Bilayer Membranes
This paper describes dissipative Cl(-) transport in "porous" lipid bilayer membranes, i.e., cholesterol-containing membranes exposed to 1-3 x 10(-7) M amphotericin B. P(DCl) (cm.s(-1)), the diffusional permeability coefficient for Cl(-), estimated from unidirectional (36)Cl(-) fluxes at zero volume flow, varied linearly with the membrane conductance (Gm, ohm(-1).cm(-2)) when the contributions o...
متن کاملFailure Pressure of Bilayer Lipid Membranes
The motion and growth of plants is the inspiration for a new biomimetic actuator that uses fluid transport across a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) to create internal pressure and cause displacement in the actuator. In order for the actuator to be viable the BLM must be able to withstand this internal pressure without failing. In this study BLMs are formed over a porous polycarbonate substrate and...
متن کاملBiotechnology Applications of Tethered Lipid Bilayer Membranes
The importance of cell membranes in biological systems has prompted the development of model membrane platforms that recapitulate fundamental aspects of membrane biology, especially the lipid bilayer environment. Tethered lipid bilayers represent one of the most promising classes of model membranes and are based on the immobilization of a planar lipid bilayer on a solid support that enables cha...
متن کاملHydrodynamic coupling of particle inclusions embedded in curved lipid bilayer membranes.
We develop theory and computational methods to investigate particle inclusions embedded within curved lipid bilayer membranes. We consider the case of spherical lipid vesicles where inclusion particles are coupled through (i) intramembrane hydrodynamics, (ii) traction stresses with the external and trapped solvent fluid, and (iii) intermonolayer slip between the two leaflets of the bilayer. We ...
