Moreover, while the tension sensitivity of channel function can be inferred from the experiment ... Under applied tension, the dome flattens (Figure 2) including the underlying lipid bilayer. The ...

The liver performs hundreds of vital functions, including converting nutrients from food into energy, filtering toxins from the blood, and producing bile, a key substance in digestion and waste ...

The phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs (LNDs), as a rapidly-developing tool in recent years, provide a natural bio-memebrane environment to maintain the native conformation and functions of membrane ...

The radial coordinate is a linear function of the committor almost everywhere ... 4.2. Dimerization of EGFR-ErbB1 TMD in a Lipid Bilayer We applied our algorithm to study the dimerization of the ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. It will help in facilitating the ...
