The effects of globotriaosylceramide tail saturation level on bilayer phases

Globotriaosylceramide (Gb(3)) is a glycosphingolipid present in the plasma membrane that is the natural receptor of the bacterial Shiga toxin. The unsaturation level of Gb(3) acyl chains has a drastic impact on lipid bilayer properties and phase behaviour, ...

Nanoscale resolution in infrared imaging of protein-containing lipid membranes

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik

The precise imaging of biomolecular entities contributes to an understanding of the relationship between their structure and function. However, the resolution of conventional infrared microscopic imaging is diffraction limited and does not exceed a few mic ...

Ligand Coupling Symmetry Correlates with Thermopower Enhancement in Small-Molecule/Nanocrystal Hybrid Materials

Wendy Lee Queen, Michele Kotiuga

The authors study the impact of the coupling symmetry and chem. nature of org.-inorg. interfaces on thermoelec. transport in Cu2-xSe nanocrystal thin films. By coupling ligand-exchange techniques with layer-by-layer assembly methods, the authors are able t ...

Refining Mitochondria Segmentation in Electron Microscopy Imagery with Active Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Anne Alison Jorstad

We present an active surface-based method for refining the boundary surfaces of mitochondria segmentation data. We exploit the fact that mitochondria have thick dark membranes, so referencing the image data at the inner membrane can help drive a more accur ...

Insertion of Nanoparticle Clusters into Vesicle Bilayers

Rudolf Hovius, Davide Demurtas, Alke Fink

A major contemporary concern in developing eective liposomeÀnanoparticle hybrids is the present inclusion size limitation of nanoparticles between vesicle bilayers, which is considered to be around 6.5 nm in diameter. In this article, we present experimen ...

Wagging the Tail: Essential Role of Substrate Flexibility in FAAH Catalysis

Ursula Röthlisberger, Andrea Cavalli, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Giulia Palermo, Marilisa Neri

The serine hydrolase, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), is responsible for the intracellular degradation of anandamide and other bioactive fatty acid ethanolamides involved in the regulation of pain, inflammation, and other pathophysiological processes. T ...

Understanding the Phase Behavior of Coarse-Grained Model Lipid Bilayers through Computational Calorimetry

Berend Smit

We study the phase behavior of saturated lipids as a function of temperature and tail length for two coarse-grained models: the soft-repulsive model typically employed with dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and the MARTINI model. We characterize the simu ...

Interface Investigations on Titanium Nitride Bilayer Systems

Dominik Anwar Jaeger

Nanocomposite coatings composed of two phases with atomically sharp phase boundaries, show interesting mechanical properties. These properties are often originating from their high interface to volume ratio. Composites of nanocrystalline titanium nitride ( ...

Improved lipid profiling of the mouse liver by 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 14.1T in vivo

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

Purpose/Introduction: Whole-body metabolic deregulation features changes in hepatic lipid dynamics. In vivo 1H-MRS allows to noninvasively assess hepatic lipid content (HLC) and composition both in humans [1] and rodents [2]. Transgenic mice provide insigh ...
