The molecular organization of cell membranes

Current concepts of molecular organization in cell membranes.

The fluid mosaic model On the occasion of the Jubilee Lecture, perhaps some comThe Tenth Jubilee Lecture ments about the origins of the work that I will present might be of interest to the audience. It is difficult to appreciate at this Delivered at a Meeting of the Biochemical time, when membrane biochemistry is such an intensely active Society on 16 December 1980 at St. George’s field, that i...

Exceptional molecular organization of canthaxanthin in lipid membranes.

Canthaxanthin (β,β-carotene 4,4' dione) used widely as a drug or as a food and cosmetic colorant may have some undesirable effects on human health, caused mainly by the formation of crystals in the macula lutea membranes of the retina of an eye. Experiments show the exceptional molecular organization of canthaxanthin and a strong effect of this pigment on the physical properties of lipid membra...

Molecular transport and organization in supported lipid membranes.

The mechanism by which vesicles spontaneously form supported lipid bilayer membranes on glass surfaces is becoming better understood and this knowledge is the basis of a technology of patterning membrane arrays and controlling composition. Controlled interactions between supported membranes and cells, particularly from the immune system, provide direct insight into cell-cell surface interactions.
