  2. 1. Membrane Orientation Studies with Polarized Light Spectroscopy

    Author : Malin Ardhammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lipid vesicle; membrane orientation; flow linear dichroism; oriented circular dichroism;

    Abstract : Lipid vesicles are versatile tools in modern biophysical science. They can be used as models of the cell membrane, to examine permeability, stability and behavior of molecules in the bilayer. They may act as transporters in a pharmacological context, designed to deliver their cargo to a certain place in the patient. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular dynamics in membrane systems : an ESR spin label study

    Author : Magdalena Ehrström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The ESR spin labeling technique has been used to investigate order and motion in medel lipid systems and in biological membranes under various experimental conditions.The effects of CaCl2, MgCl2, LaCl3 and some alkali halides on B. READ MORE

  5. 3. Palmitoylation and amyloid fibril formation of lung surfactant protein C

    Author : Magnus Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lung surfactant is a mixture of lipids and a few proteins, of which surfactant proteins (SP)-B and SP-C are lipophilic. Surfactant is essential for the reduction of surface tension at the alveolar air/liquid interface. READ MORE

  6. 4. Intramembranous arrangement of phospholipids and dolichol in microsomal and model membranes

    Author : Conny Valtersson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The transfer of phospholipids from the endoplasmic reticulum to the inner mitochondrial membrane was investigated by pulse labeling in vivo. With [3H]gIycerol microsomal phosphatidylethanoiamine and phosphatidylcholine were rapidly labeled during the first 30 min; while maximum incorporation into the inner mitochondrial membrane occured only after about 5 hours.
