Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
A solid coated device is disclosed that has covalently attached a coating which comprises a first layer contg. first functional groups, to which first layer functional groups is covalently attached a second, linking layer carrying second functional groups, ...
Membrane proteins fulfill many central functions in the biological membrane. The insertion process of these proteins and their structure, which are intimately linked to their function, are not yet well understood. As a model we studied three proteins recon ...
The F0F1 ATP synthase of chloroplasts was imaged using atomic force microscopy (AFM) in contact mode under physiological conditions. Chloroplast (CF0F1) ATP synthases were reconstituted into liposomes, Liposomes were adsorbed on a mica surface where they s ...
A new class of lipid mols. is synthesized, based on two dipalmitoylphosphatidic mols., each extended at the lipid phosphate by a hydrophilic spacer chain of ethoxy groups of variable length, which are then coupled as a bilipid via a terminal disulfide grou ...
The bacterial toxin aerolysin kills cells by forming heptameric channels, of unknown structure, in the plasma membrane. Using disulfide trapping and cysteine scanning mutagenesis coupled to thiol-specific labeling on lipid bilayers, we identify a loop that ...
Eukaryotic cells are organized into a complex system of subcompartments, each with its distinct protein and lipid composition. A continuous flux of membranes crosses these compartments, and in some cases direct connections exist between the different organ ...
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 ...
Maintaining the integrity of their protective plasma membrane is a primary requirement of cells. Accordingly, cellular events that breach the membrane are tightly regulated1. Artificial vesicles used in drug delivery must also stay intact until they have r ...
Membrane fusion plays a key role in many biological processes including vesicle trafficking, synaptic transmission, fertilization or cell entry of enveloped viruses. As a common feature the fusion process is mediated by distinct membrane proteins. We descr ...
Aerolysin secreted by the human pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila belongs to a group of bacterial toxins that are hemolytic and form channels in biological membranes. The toxin is secreted as an inactive precursor proaerolysin that must be proteolytically proc ...
