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

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 ...

Research into preventing and reversing the creation of misfolded protein aggregates known as fibrils could provide new therapeutic opportunities in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as ...

Artificial lipid bilayers The suspended lipid membrane, also known of as the black lipid membrane (BLM), is one of the first model membrane bilayers developed to allow the electrical ...

A supported lipid bilayer is used as a chemical circuit board to carry out molecular computation with a network of nanoparticles. Nanoparticle logic operations are monitored by scattering colour ...

Thus, unsaturated lipids of the lipid bilayer play a critical role in the Lp-IO system to initiate intrabilayer lipid peroxidation and induce tumor cell ferroptosis.

This illustration depicts a proteoliposome -- a spherical bilayer of fat molecules (white and blue) -- stabilized in a structure called a zeolitic-imidazole framework composed of zinc acetate and ...

Specifically, they used the all-atom CHARRM36 lipid force field to predict how lipids self-assemble into a bilayer membrane, using seven or eight of the main phospholipid types and two primary ...
