We present the results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of coarse-grain 1, 2-di-n-
alkanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine Langmuir monolayer systems. Two separate …

In a previous study, we observed a series of dips in the plot of E/M (the ratio of excimer to
monomer fluorescence intensity) versus the mole fraction of 1-palmitoyl-2-(10-pyrenyl) …

Hampered by the diffraction phenomenon, as expressed in 1873 by Abbe, applications of
optical microscopy to image biological structures were for a long time limited to resolutions …

We have examined the fractional sterol concentration dependence of dehydroergosterol
(DHE) fluorescence in DHE/cholesterol/dimyristoyl-L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) …

We have used atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to consider 1, 6-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-
hexatriene (DPH) fluorescent probes in a fluid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer with 5 …

Interfacial tension is an important characteristic of a biological membrane because it
determines its rigidity, thus affecting its stability. It is affected by factors such as medium pH …

The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein from bovine brain has a remarkable specificity
pattern with a distinct preference for phosphatidylinositol (PI) and a low affinity for …

Molecular-level mechanisms of fusion and hemifusion of large unilamellar dioleoyl
phosphatidic acid/phosphocholine (DOPA/DOPC, 1: 1 molar ratio) vesicles induced by …

Short-chain, fluorescent derivatives are commonly used to investigate intracellular
phospholipid trafficking. However, their use can yield misleading results because they …

Equinatoxin II is a cytolytic polypeptide from the sea anemone Actinia equina L. which forms
pores in natural and artificial membranes. The intrinsic fluorescence of its five tryptophanyl …
