Intrinsic curvature hypothesis for biomembrane lipid composition: a role for nonbilayer lipids.
A rationale is presented for the mix of "bilayer" and "nonbilayer" lipids, which occurs in biomembranes. A theory for the L alpha-HII phase transition and experimental tests of the theory are reviewed. It is suggested that the phase behavior is largely the result of a competition between the tendency for certain lipid monolayers to curl and the hydrocarbon packing strains that result. The tende...
متن کاملCardiolipins and biomembrane function.
Evidence is discussed for roles of cardiolipins in oxidative phosphorylation mechanisms that regulate State 4 respiration by returning ejected protons across and over bacterial and mitochondrial membrane phospholipids, and that regulate State 3 respiration through the relative contributions of proteins that transport protons, electrons and/or metabolites. The barrier properties of phospholipid ...
متن کاملNanobiomechanics of proteins and biomembrane.
A review of the work done in the Laboratory of Biodynamics of Tokyo Institute of Technology in the last decade has been summarized in this article in relation to the results reported from other laboratories. The emphasis here is the application of nanomechanics based on the force mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to proteins and protein-based biological structures. Globular proteins were st...
متن کاملNatural-biomembrane dressing and hypersensitivity.
BACKGROUND The natural biomembrane of latex extracted from Hevea brasiliensis has been used as a dressing for skin ulcers. OBJECTIVES To evaluate how safe the natural biomembrane is in relation to hypersensitivity to latex when used as a dressing. METHODS We selected patients with skin ulcers, forming the following groups: control - low occupational exposure to latex (n = 17); latex-exposed...
متن کاملMetalloproteinases, Mechanical Factors and Vascular Remodeling
Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...
