Although it is now generally taken for granted that membranes are based on the presence of a lipid bilayer, that was not always the case. Early experiments, often by physicists, led to the ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous approach to the design and fabrication of novel supermolecular architectures. Here we report a strategy termed ‘lipid-bilayer-assisted self-assembly’ that is used ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

The team studied the interaction of lipid bilayers with amyloid-beta, which is a precursor to protein fibrils that are formed in Alzheimer’s disease. Proteins only work as intended when they are ...

In the lipid bilayer, IO-PEG promotes the intrabilayer generation of •OH from H 2 O 2. And the intrabilayer UL was peroxidized rapidly to LPO by •OH. At the same time, ...
