The proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family have been proposed to participate in the formation of a channel that releases these apoptogenic factors when mitochondria receive apoptotic signals. A recent study provides the first direct, biophysical measurement of a potentially apoptosis-specific mitochondrial channel, which is regulated by Bcl-2 family members and may play a primary role in the ...

Thesis submitted for the part of the degree of MSc in Mathematical Biology and Biophysical Chemistry.

Membrane nanoobjects are very important tools to study biomembrane properties. Two types described herein: Bicelles and Nanodiscs. obtained by thorough water mixing of long chain short lipids may take the form membranous discs 10–50 nm. Temperature-composition-hydration diagrams have been established for Phosphatidylcholines show limited domains existence. can be doped with charged lipids, surf...

PROGRESS IN BIOPHYSICS AND BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. By J. A. V. Butler and J. T. Randall, Eds. New York, Academic Press, Inc., 1950. viii + 279 pp. $6.80. This is the first of another "advances" series in the somewhat ill-defined field of biophysics. Generally speaking, the term biophysics includes two fields. One may be described as the application of physical concepts and methods of thought to ...
