چکیده
Understanding the role of biomolecules in cells at molecular level has been trade Prof. Marcio Francisco Colombo and Jo�o Ruggiero Neto their carriers, which is why it was found appropriate to address use Langmuir monolayers as cell membrane models this special issue. In review paper, we elaborate upon reasons are good with possible control composition packing. After describing several experimental methods characterize monolayers, discuss selected results from last five years where were made interact pharmaceutical drugs, emerging pollutants other biologically-relevant molecules. The challenges take field forward also commented upon.

Surface chemistry and spectroscopy studies on 1,4-naphthoquinone in cell membrane models using Langmuir monolayers.
Investigating the role of drugs whose pharmaceutical activity is associated with cell membranes is fundamental to comprehending the biochemical processes that occur on membrane surfaces. In this work, we examined the action of 1,4-naphthoquinone in lipid Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface, which served as a model for half of a membrane, and investigated the molecular interactions in...
متن کاملRecent Advances in T Cell Signaling in Aging
The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...
متن کاملMembrane topology of cytochrome P450 2B4 in Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers.
Using Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of both phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylcholines as membrane mimics, we have examined the topology of cytochrome P450 2B4 anchoring. The interaction of wild-type P450 2B4 with phosphatidylethanolamine monolayers can be characterized as a biphasic reaction, with the initial fast phase explained by the specific insertion of membrane-spanning segments o...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Use of Polymers as Chemical Reagents
Some recent developments in the preparation of polymeric reagents and their use in various chemical reactions are described. Improved polymeric acyl transfer reagents were prepared. They possess good mechanical properties and are therefore easy to handle and pure products are obtained by their use. With one of these polymeric reagents pure peptides may be obtained in high yield in reactions las...
