This article summarizes the current view of the sterol superlattice model, which provides a
microscopic and molecular description of lateral structure of membranes containing …

Most biological membranes are extremely complex structures consisting of hundreds of
different lipid and protein molecules. According to the famous fluid-mosaic model lipids and …

Sec14, the major yeast phosphatidylcholine (PC)/phosphatidylinositol (PI) transfer protein
(PITP), coordinates PC and PI metabolism to facilitate an appropriate and essential lipid …

The underlying approach to development of the CHARMM lipid force field, and the current
ab initio and molecular dynamics methods for optimization of each term are reviewed …

Materials and Methods Lipids. Egg PC was isolated according to Singleton et al.(1965). Egg

The excimer-to-monomer fluorescence emission intensity ratio (IE/IM) of the fluorescent
probe 1-palmitoyl-2-[(pyren-1-yl)] decanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PPDPC, 1 mol%) …

A brief review is given on the principles and methods used to investigate structural phase
transitions in phospholipid supramolecular structures. The conceptual differences of …

The importance of osmolarity in the regulation of a wide range of cellular functions and
processes is well established. However, much less is known about the molecular …

The putative specific interaction and complex formation by sphingomyelin and cholesterol
was investigated. Accordingly, low contents (1mol% each) of fluorescently labeled …

We have used high-resolution field-cycling 31P NMR spectroscopy to measure spin− lattice
relaxation rates (R 1= 1/T 1) of multicomponent phospholipid vesicle and micelle samples …
