Understanding the pathways of solubilization of lipid membranes is of high importance for
their use in biotechnology and industrial applications. Although lipid vesicle solubilization by …

We establish a biophysical model for the dynamics of lipid vesicles exposed to surfactants.
The solubilization of the lipid membrane due to the insertion of surfactant molecules induces …

We provide a comprehensive thermodynamic description of lipid membrane dissolution by a
charged detergent. To this end, we have studied the interactions between the anionic …

The interaction of nanoscale lipid vesicles with cell membranes is of fundamental
importance for the design and development of vesicular drug delivery systems. Here, we …

The present study explores intermediate stages in detergent solubilization of liposomes and
Ca 2+-ATPase membranes by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and medium-sized (∼ C 12) …

Small solutes have been shown to alter the lateral organization of cell membranes and
reconstituted phospholipid bilayers; however, the mechanisms by which these changes …

We used a cell-sized model system, giant liposomes, to investigate the interaction between
lipid membranes and surfactants, and the membrane transformation during the solubilization …

Pore formation by membrane-active antimicrobial peptides is a classic strategy of pathogen
inactivation through disruption of membrane biochemical gradients. It remains unknown why …
