Prebiotic membranes are one of the essential elements of the origin of life because they
build compartments to keep genetic materials and metabolic machinery safe. Since modern …

The phase transition temperatures of several lipidic systems were determined using two
different techniques: dynamic light scattering (DLS) and steady-state fluorescence …

Equimolar mixtures of oppositely charged single-chain amphiphiles form a variety of phases,
including vesicles. Such catanionic mixed lipid systems show high stability and exhibit …

Abstract O-Acyl-β-alaninols (OABAOHs) are interesting amphiphiles in view of their ability to
strongly inhibit N-acylethanolamine hydrolyzing acid amidase. In the present work, we …

Abstract β-Alaninol and its derivatives were reported to exhibit interesting biological and
pharmacological activities and showed potential application in formulating drug delivery …

A headgroup linker perturbs p K a via acyl chain migration: designing base-labile
supramolecular assemblies - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C8CC00776D …

Lipid-based, base-triggerable systems will be useful for colon specific targeted delivery of
drugs and pharmaceuticals. In light of this, a catanionic surfactant system, composed of O …

N-acyl serinols, the amphiphilic molecules produced by gastrointestinal bacteria regulate
metabolic hormone production and glucose homeostasis in the host species, and also …

The bilayer phase transitions from the ripple gel phase ([Formula: see text]) to the liquid
crystal phase (Lα) of a series of 1, 2-diacylphosphatidylcholines containing a linear …

N-Acyl tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethanes (N-acyl tris, NATs) are structural analogs of
