Incorporation and antibody recognition of a lipid-anchored membrane protein in supported lipid layers

Horst Vogel, Martha Liley

The formation of supported lipid layers incorporating promastigote surface protease (PSP), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, is investigated using surface plasmon resonance. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates are used for the format ...

Structure of Hydrophilic Self-Assembled Monolayers: A Combined Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Computer Simulation Study

Monolayers of thiols self-assembled on Au (111) can be made hydrophilic by functionalizing the surface with polar endgroups. The authors present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of 2 such hydrophilic monolayers, one terminated by hydroxyl (mercap ...

Computer simulations of simple oil/water/surfactant systems

Berend Smit

A simple oil/water/surfactant model is used to study self-assembly of surfactants. The model contains only the most obvious elements: oil and water do not mix; a surfactant is an amphiphilic mol. with one side hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic. Comput ...

RETENTION BEHAVIOR OF A TEMPLATE-ASSEMBLED SYNTHETIC PROTEIN AND ITS AMPHIPHILIC BUILDING-BLOCKS ON REVERSED-PHASE COLUMNS

The retention behaviour of a six-helix bundle template-assembled synthetic protein (TASP) molecule and its amphiphilic building blocks was investigated. The TASP consists of a circular template, cyclo(1-12)[KG]6, and six identical potentially alpha-helical ...

The structure of melittin in membranes

Horst Vogel

The conformation of the polypeptide melittin in lipid membranes as detd. by Raman spectroscopy is a bent a-helix formed by the mainly hydrophobic residues 1-21, and a nonhelical C-terminal segment of the hydrophilic residues 22-26. Fluorescence quenching e ...

Electrostatically induced change of the conformational order of charged lipid membranes

Horst Vogel

Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction are used to investigate the influence of surface charges on the structure of ionizable lipid membranes of dimyristoylmethylphosphatidic acid. The membrane surface charge d. is regulated by varying the pH of the aq. ...

Textile finishing

Jutta Christine Wandrey

The antistatic and hydrophilic properties of acrylic, polyamide, and polyester fibers were improved by treatment with a polymerizable vinyl monomer contg. an ammonium group and a polymerizable monomer contg. a carboxyl or sulfo group and irradiating. Thus, ...
