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.
Colicins A and N are pore-forming bacterial toxins that kill Escherichia coli cells. Their mode of action involves three steps; binding to specific receptors located in the outer membrane, translocation through this membrane and the periplasm, and channel ...
Oligomerization is a necessary step in channel formation by the bacterial toxin aerolysin. We have identified a region of aerolysin containing two tryptophans which influence the ability of the protein to oligomerize. Changing the tryptophan at position 37 ...
The coat protein of bacteriophage Pf3 forms discrete and stable ion channels of uniform size in planar bilayers of asolectin. Its primary sequence suggests a channel formed by a bundle of transmembrane helixes. Since the apparent transmembrane region only ...
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 ...
A symposium report. The total synthesis of melittin-TASP, T4-(4a26) (TASP = template assembled synthetic proteins) is described together with its structural and ion-channel forming properties in planar lipid bilayers. A voltage-dependent channel activity i ...
Template-assembled proteins (TASPs) comprising 4 peptide blocks, each of either the natural melittin sequence (melittin-TASP) or of a truncated melittin sequence (amino acid 6-26, melittin6-26-TASP), C-terminally linked to a (linear or cyclic) 10-amino aci ...
A new method is presented for measuring sensitively the interactions between ligands and their membrane-bound receptors in situ by using integrated optics, thus avoiding the need for addnl. labels. Phospholipid bilayers were attached covalently to waveguid ...
Purified mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) (EC 2.7.3.2) from chicken heart was shown to interact simultaneously with purified inner and outer mitochondrial membranes, thereby creating an intermembrane chondrial membranes, thereby creating an intermembr ...

We demonstrate that the combined application of Langmuir-Blodgett and self-assembly techniques allows the fabrication of patterns with contrasting surface properties on gold substrates. The process is monitored using fluoroscence microscopy and surface pla ...
Insertion of some protein toxins into membranes proceeds through an unfolding step. The unfolding trigger can be the low pH in endosomes, exposure to body temperature, reduction of disulphide bonds or proteolytic cleavage occurring at the membrane surface. ...
