The rapid cold-hardening (RCH) response not only confers dramatic protection against cold-
shock (non-freezing) injury, but also “instantaneously” enhances organismal performance …

Polyphenols are bioactive natural products that appear to act against a wide range of
pathologies. Mechanisms of activity have not been established, but recent studies have …

Abstract Phospholamban (PLB) is a 52-amino acid integral membrane protein that regulates
the flow of Ca 2+ ions in cardiac muscle cells. In the present study, the transmembrane …

Deuterium solid-state NMR spectroscopy was used to qualitatively study the effects of both 1-
palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (PLiPC) and cholesterol on …

An 18-residue peptide, KWGAKIKIGAKIKIGAKI-NH2 was designed to form amphiphilic β-
sheet structures when bound to lipid bilayers. The peptide possesses high antimicrobial …

This paper presents the first time that both solid-state NMR spectroscopy and EPR
spectroscopy are used to study the effects of cholesterol on magnetically aligned …

This communication demonstrates for the first time that solid-state NMR spectroscopic
studies can be used to investigate aligned phospholipid bilayer nanotube arrays. Also, an …

Introduction. The presence of biologically active substances in the extract from the roots of
turmeric extract (Curcuma longa L.) makes it reasonable and makes it possible to predict …
