  2. 11. Exploring the Interactive Landscape of Lipid Bilayers

    Author : Christian L. Wennberg; Erik Lindahl; Arnold Maliniak; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular Dynamics; lipid bilayer; cholesterol; permeability; long-range interactions; Lennard-Jones; dispersion; particle-mesh Ewald; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Abstract : One of the most important aspects for all life on this planet is theact to keep their cellular processes in a state where they do notreach equilibrium. One part in the upholding of this imbalanced stateis the barrier between the cells and their surroundings, created bythe cell membrane. READ MORE

  4. 12. The self-spreading double bilayer/Advances in lipid membrane nanotechnology

    Author : Irep Gözen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanotechnology; pore; lipid double bilayer; rupture; crackling noise; tension; self-spreading; vesicle; flat giant unilamellar vesicle; viscous fingering.;

    Abstract : In my thesis I describe the generation, characterization and uses of self-spreading double bilayers. This new type of solid-supported model membrane combines features and properties of the 2D lipid bilayer membrane, and the 3D phospholiposome. The double bilayer membrane, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 13. Properties and Applications of Shear-Driven Lipid Bilayers

    Author : Peter Jönsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photobleaching; cell membrane; simulations; fluorescence microscopy; microfluidics; diffusivity; membrane proteins; lipid bilayer; mobility; model systems;

    Abstract : A supported lipid bilayer (SLB) is a lipid bilayer formed on a solid substrate. This system is currently one of the most common model systems used to imitate the properties of the cell membrane that surrounds human cells. READ MORE

  6. 14. Lipid-Based Surface Modifications: towards the Development of Membrane-Protein Arrays

    Author : Indriati Pfeiffer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DNA-array; cholesterol-DNA; EIS; membrane proteins; lipid vesicles; QCM-D; supported lipid bilayer;

    Abstract : Mimics of the natural cell membrane, such as lipid vesicles and supported lipid membranes, have gained significant attention in recent years. This is primarily due to their ability to provide scientists with a model system allowing a large arsenal of scientific tools to be used in studies of biological reactions that are naturally controlled by the cell membrane and its components.

  7. 15. A computational approach to curvature sensing in lipid bilayers

    Author : Federico Elías-Wolff; Alexander Lyubartsev; Max Berkowitz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; curvature sensing; membrane curvature; cardiolipin; amphipathic helix; symmetric multimers; lipid bilayer; molecular dynamics; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Abstract : Local curvature is a key driving force for spatial organization of cellular membranes, via a phenomenon known as membrane curvature sensing, where the binding energy of membrane associated macromolecules depends on the local membrane shape. However, the microscopic mechanisms of curvature sensing are not well understood. READ MORE
