The role of phospholipids in the membrane binding and subsequent insertion of the
microsomal protein rabbit cytochrome P450 (P450) 1A2 into phospholipid bilayers was …

We elucidate the influence of pyrene-labeled phospholipids on the structural properties of a
fluid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine lipid membrane. To this end, we employ extensive …

We have examined the effect of 1-palmitoyl-2-(10-pyrenyl) decanoyl-sn-glycerol-3-
phosphatidylcholine (Pyr-PC) concentration on the ratio of excimer fluorescence to …

Steady-state measurements of pyrene fluorescence in the model bilayer membranes
composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and its mixtures with cardiolipin (CL) have been …

The quantitative study of the probability of molecular encounters giving rise to a reaction in
membranes is a challenging discipline. Model systems, model in the sense that they use …

Analysis of phospholipases A2 on model phospholipid bilayers in which enzyme is
essentially irreversibly bound at the lipid− water interface, termed “scooting mode”, is a …

The influence of cholesterol and POPE on lung surfactant model systems consisting of
DPPC/DPPG (80: 20) and DPPC/DPPG/surfactant protein C (80: 20: 0.4) has been …

Cholesterol is known to affect the activity of membrane-bound enzymes, including Na+/K+-
ATPase. To gain insight into the mechanism of cholesterol's effect, we have used various …

Recently, it was demonstrated that γ-cyclodextrins (γ-CDs) greatly accelerates transfer of
hydrophobic pyrene-labeled and other fluorescent phospholipid derivatives from vesicles to …

Sticholysin II (StnII) is a pore-forming toxin that uses sphingomyelin (SM) as the recognition
molecule in targeting membranes. After StnII monomers bind to SM, several toxin monomers …
