The native environment of membrane proteins is complex and scientists have felt the need
to simplify it to reduce the number of varying parameters. However, experimental problems …

The use of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in the analysis of biomolecular structure and
dynamics has expanded rapidly since its potential as a source of structural information on …

We have used cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) for inspection of
aggregates formed by dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and …

Bicelles are an attractive membrane mimetic system because of their planar surface and
lipid composition, which resemble biological membranes. In addition, their orientation and …

► Lipid bicelles have matured to full membership in the club of lipid phases.► Numerous
techniques have elucidated the character traits of bicelles.► Bicelles are exemplary citizens …

Mixtures of dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine
(DHPC) in water form disks also called bicelles and different bilayer organizations when the …

Membrane nanoobjects are very important tools to study biomembrane properties. Two
types are described herein: Bicelles and Nanodiscs. Bicelles are obtained by thorough …

Members of the cytochrome P450 (cyt P450) superfamily of enzymes oxidize a wide array of
endogenous and xenobiotic substances to prepare them for excretion. Most of the drugs in …

Mixtures of long-and short-chain phospholipids, specifically 14: 0 and 6: 0
phosphatidylcholines (DMPC and DHPC), have been used successfully in NMR studies as …

Major biological processes occur at the biological membrane. One of the great challenges is
to understand the function of chemical or biological molecules inside the membrane; as well …
