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.
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 ...
Among several effects, ethanol (EtOH) interferes with membrane fluidity and lipid-protein interactions. As proteins are influenced by surrounding lipids, the activity of membrane-bound enzymes such as adenylate cyclase (AC) could be modulated by EtOH, as s ...
While the existence of cholesterol/sphingolipid (raft) membrane domains in the plasma membrane is now supported by strong experimental evidence, the structure of these domains, their size, their dynamics, and their molecular composition remain to be unders ...
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 ...
For the first time, the std. free energy change, DG Deg, of a membrane-inserting protein with a leader sequence has been detd. exptl., using M13 procoat protein as an example. The partition coeff. for the distribution of the procoat protein between the aq. ...
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. ...
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 ...
In this paper, we studied the fate of endocytosed glycosylphosphatidyl inositol anchored proteins (GPI- APs) in mammalian cells, using aerolysin, a bacterial toxin that binds to the GPI anchor, as a probe. We find that GPI-APs are transported down the endo ...
