The goal of this work was to produce water-soluble fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals suitable to interact specifically with biomolecules and thereby creating hybrid supramolecular structures composed of nanocrystals and proteins. Hydrophobic TOPO-coat ...
Phosphorylated lipids play important roles in biological systems, not only as structural moieties but also as modulators of cellular function. Phospholipids of pathogenic bacteria are known to play roles both as membrane components and as factors that modu ...
The oligomerization state of the ADP/ATP carrier is an important issue in understanding the mechanism underlying nucleotide exchange across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The first high resolution structure obtained in the presence of carboxyatractylosi ...
Many fundamental processes that govern the function of biological cells occur on or immediately under the cell membrane. Fluorescence marking of specific sites has had a large impact in the recognition of these processes. In addition, observation in an app ...
Rigid p-octiphenyl rods were used to create helical tetrameric p-stacks of blue, red-fluorescent naphthalene diimides that can span lipid bilayer membranes. In lipid vesicles containing quinone as electron acceptors and surrounded by ethylenediaminetetraac ...
Nanometer light source: Interaction between high-affinity binding sites on lipid-coated nanocrystals (NCs) and different proteins enables the controlled formation of supramol. nanostructures on micropatterned surfaces. The NCs serve as local light sources ...
The alpha-toxin from Staphylococcus aureus undergoes several conformational changes from the time it is released from the bacterium to the moment it forms a channel in the plasma membrane of its target cell. It is initially a soluble monomer, which undergo ...
The outer membrane protein OmpF from Escherichia coli is a member of a large family of b-barrel membrane proteins. Some, like OmpF, are pore-forming proteins while others are active transporters or enzymes. We have previously shown that the receptor-bindin ...
A review with 91 refs. The use of solid-state NMR as a tool to det. the structure of membrane mols. is reviewed with a particular emphasis on techniques that provide information on orientation or order. Expts. reported here have been performed in membranes ...
The atomic force microscope acquires topographs of single native membrane proteins at subnanometer resolution. Owing to the high signal-to-noise ratio, such images allow the conformational space of membrane protein surfaces to be sampled. This is demonstra ...
