Scattering techniques, in particular electron, neutron and X-ray scattering have played a
major role in elucidating the static and dynamic structure of biologically relevant …

This review covers current trends in studies of membrane amphiphiles and membrane
proteins using both fast tumbling bicelles and magnetically aligned bicelle media for both …

Despite remarkable progress, mainly due to the development of LCP and
'bicelle'crystallization, lack of structural information remains a bottleneck in membrane …

► Lipid bicelles have matured to full membership in the club of lipid phases.► Numerous
techniques have elucidated the character traits of bicelles.► Bicelles are exemplary citizens …

Mixtures of dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine
(DHPC) in water form disks also called bicelles and different bilayer organizations when the …

Crystallization of membrane proteins remains a significant challenge. For proteins resistant
to the traditional approach of directly crystallizing from detergents, lipidic phase …

Magnetically aligned bicelles are an excellent medium for structure determination of
isotopically labeled membrane proteins by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Bicelles are a …

Besides being a useful tool in research, gene transfer has a high potential as treatment for a
variety of genetic and acquired diseases. However, in order to enable a gene to become a …

In quest of the holy grail to “see” how individual molecules interact in liquid environments,
single-molecule imaging methods now include liquid-phase electron microscopy, whose …

Over the past decade “bicellar” lipid mixtures composed of the long-chain dimyristoyl
phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and the short-chain dihexanoyl PC (DHPC) molecules have …
