The Hofmeister series illustrates how salts produce a wide range of effects in biological
systems, which are not exclusively explained by ion charge. In lipid membranes, charged …

In studies of the transfer, distribution and biochemical activity of metal ions it is typically
assumed that the phospholipid bilayer acts as an inert barrier. Yet, there is mounting …

Interactions of calcium (Ca2+) and zinc (Zn2+) cations with biomimetic membranes made of
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) were studied by small angle neutron diffraction …

To characterize the specificity of ion binding to phospholipids in terms of headgroup
structure, hydration and lyotropic phase behavior we studied 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl …

In this manuscript, we investigate the interactions of different metal ions with zwitterionic
phospholipid bilayers of different chain lengths using the well-known membrane probe …

The capacity of Al3+-related cations (Sc3+, Ga3+, In3+, Be2+, Y3+, and La3+) to promote
membrane rigidification and lateral phase separation was evaluated in liposomes …

(M/M) l-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) and l-palmitoyl-2-
oleoylphosphatidylserine (POPS) was investigated by using deuterium nuclear magnetic …

Adsorption of metal cations onto a cellular membrane changes its properties, such as
interactions with charged moieties or the propensity for membrane fusion. It is, however …

We have systematically investigated the effect of various alkali metal ions with negatively
charged phospholipid membranes. Size distributions of large unilamellar vesicles have …

We have performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structure and
dynamics of charged bilayers as well as the distribution of counterions at the bilayer …
