Wild-type and mutant forms of bacteriorhodopsin (sbR) from Halobacterium salinarium,
produced by Escherichia coli overexpression of a synthetic gene, were reversibly unfolded …

A fluorinated detergent, CF3 (CF2) 5C2H4-O-maltose, was reconstituted into a lipid bilayer
model membrane system to demonstrate the feasibility of determining solvent accessibility …

We have created a stable bicelle system capable of forming micrometer-scale lipid domains
that orient in a magnetic field, suitable for structural biology determination in solid-state …

Bicellar model membranes composed of 1, 2-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and 1,
2-dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC), with a DMPC/DHPC molar ratio of 5, and doped …

Phospholipid bicelles are valuable membrane model systems to study membrane proteins
by NMR and other physicochemical techniques. The range of bicelle compositions that are …

The morphology of q= 0.5 fast-tumbling bicelles prepared with three different acyl chain
lengths have been investigated by NMR. It is shown that bicelles prepared with DLPC (12 C) …

Magnetically aligned bicelles are increasingly being used as model membranes in solution-
and solid-state NMR studies of the structure, dynamics, topology, and interaction of …

Obtaining structural information on integral or peripheral membrane proteins is currently
arduous due to the difficulty of their solubilization, purification, and crystallization (for X-ray …

Artificial biomembrane mimetic model systems are used to characterize peptide–membrane
interactions using a wide range of methods. Herein, we present the use of selected …

Lipid bilayers prepared from natural phospholipids orient in magnetic fields with the long
axis of the lipid molecules perpendicular to the magnetic field. This magnetically induced …
