2D MoS2 Nanopores: Wafer-scale Fabrication and Monolayer Stability for Long-term Single-Molecule Sensing

Mukeshchand Thakur

Biologically inspired solid-state nanopores are artificial openings or apertures in thin membranes similar to natural protein ion channels in a lipid bilayer of cell membranes. In solid-state nanopores, a thin insulating membrane with single or multiple po ...

Second harmonic scattering of water in a biological context

Tereza Schönfeldová

Water is one of the most abundant molecules in the universe. It forms a hydrogen bond network with unique structure and dynamics. Hydrogen bonding is highly relevant to many biological processes including membrane formation, protein folding, adsorption, an ...

Numerical studies on saturated kink and sawtooth induced fast ion transport in JET ITER-like plasmas

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Matteo Vallar

This presentation examines the energetic particle transport induced by saturated kink modes and sawtooth crashes in JET deuterium plasmas. It is known that kink mode-resonant transport and phase-space redistribution from sawtooth crashes can drive strong f ...

Investigating field-induced magnetic order in Han purple by neutron scattering up to 25.9 T

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand, Philippe Heller, Nicolas Laflorencie

BaCuSi2O6 is a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) quantum antiferromagnet containing three different types of stacked, square-lattice bilayer hosting spin-1/2 dimers. Although this compound has been studied extensively over the last two decades, the critical appli ...

Palmitoylated acyl protein thioesterase APT2 deforms membranes to extract substrate acyl chains

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Florence Pojer, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Sylvia Ho, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Muhammad Umair Anwar, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Martina Audagnotto

Acyl protein thioesterase APT2 interacts with membranes via its charged beta-tongue, becomes palmitoylated by ZDHHC3/7 and deforms the bilayer to extract substrate acyl chains. APT2 deacylation leads to its membrane release and degradation. ...

Membrane Activity of a DNA-Based Ion Channel Depends on the Stability of Its Double-Stranded Structure

Diana Kornelia Morzy, Himanshu Joshi

DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a promising method for designing spontaneously inserting and fully controllable synthetic ion channels. However, both insertion efficiency and stability of existing DNA-based membrane channels leave much room for improveme ...

Cholesterol Hinders the Passive Uptake of Amphiphilic Nanoparticles into Fluid Lipid Membranes

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri, Ester Canepa, Giulia Rossi

Plasma membranes represent pharmacokinetic barriers for the passive transport of site-specific drugs within cells. When engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as transmembrane drug carriers, the plasma membrane composition can affect passive NP inte ...

Asymmetric opening of the homopentameric 5-HT3A serotonin receptor in lipid bilayers

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) of the Cys-loop receptor family are key players in fast signal transduction throughout the nervous system. They have been shown to be modulated by the lipid environment, however the underlying mechanism is not ...

S-acylation by ZDHHC20 targets ORAI1 channels to lipid rafts for efficient Ca2+ signaling by Jurkat T cell receptors at the immune synapse

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami

Efficient immune responses require Ca2+ fluxes across ORAI1 channels during engagement of T cell receptors (TCR) at the immune synapse (IS) between T cells and antigen presenting cells. Here, we show that ZDHHC20-mediated S-acylation of the ORAI1 channel a ...

Post-translational regulation of neuronal differentiation

Jaipreet Singh Loomba

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are amphipathic lipid moieties that make up only 3% of the total lipid content of the cell and are almost exclusively expressed at the Plasma Membrane(PM). They are key drivers of signalling hotspots known as â lipid-raftsâ as ...
