Two phase reactions are the analogy of biomembranes, which polarized by Galvani potential difference at interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions. Energy conversion such as oxygen reduction reaction or hydrogen evolution have been great drawn attention soft interfaces due to similarity natural biochemical reactions. In this study, copper-based ternary metal selenide (copper tungste...

We discuss the hydrodynamic collective effects due to active protein molecules that are immersed in lipid bilayer membranes and modeled as stochastic force dipoles. We specifically take into account the presence of the bulk solvent that surrounds the two-dimensional fluid membrane. Two membrane geometries are considered: the free membrane case and the confined membrane case. Using the generaliz...

In order to mimic cell membranes, the supported lipid bilayer (SLB) is an attractive platform which enables in vitro investigation of membrane-related processes while conferring biocompatibility and biofunctionality to solid substrates. The spontaneous adsorption and rupture of phospholipid vesicles is the most commonly used method to form SLBs. However, under physiological conditions, vesicle ...

There is a growing need for cellular imaging with fluorescent probes that emit at longer wavelengths to minimize the effects of absorption, autofluorescence, and scattering from biological tissue. In this paper a series of new environmentally sensitive hemicyanine dyes featuring amino(oligo)thiophene donors have been synthesized via aldol condensation between a 4-methylpyridinium salt and vario...

Objective: to evaluate the rate of healing in diabetic foot ulcers treated with a biomembrane latex proteins from Calotropis procera (BioMem CpLP) when compared powdered hydrocolloid. Method: randomized controlled clinical trial, registered by Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry (REBEC), according protocol RBR-98f3j9, carried out eight people foot, clinic, March July 2019. In experimental group (...

A biomembrane sample system where millimolar changes of cations induce reversible large scale (≥ 200 Å) in the membrane-to-surface distance is described. The composes a free-floating bilayer, formed adjacent to self-assembled monolayer (SAM). To examine membrane movements, differently charged floating bilayers presence and absence Ca 2+ Na + , respectively, were examined using neutron reflectiv...

Most mechanistic studies on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) peptide fusion inhibitors have focused on the interactions between fusion inhibitors and viral envelope proteins. However, the interactions of fusion inhibitors with viral membranes are also essential for the efficacy of these drugs. Here, we utilized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology to study the interactions between the H...
