Biological membranes and membrane proteins, responsible for numerous exciting
biological processes, present one of the paramount challenges in biophysics today …

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 …

Solid-state NMR spectroscopic techniques provide valuable information about the structure,
dynamics and topology of membrane-inserted polypeptides. In particular antimicrobial …

Roughly one-third of all proteins reside in biological membranes [1, 2]. Integral membrane
proteins (IMPs), which can only be released from the membrane by disruption of the …

Considerable progress has been made recently on solution NMR studies of multi-
transmembrane helix membrane protein systems of increasing size. Careful correlation of …

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 …

Static magnetic fields (SMFs) can affect cell proliferation in a cell-type and intensity-
dependent way but the mechanism remains unclear. At the same time, although the …

Most studies reported until now on the magnetically alignable system formed by the binary
mixtures of long-and short-chain lipids were based on the mixture of 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn …

The increased interest in studying membrane proteins has led to the development of new
membrane mimics such as bicelles and nanodiscs. However, only limited knowledge is …

Integral membrane proteins do not fare well when extracted from biological membranes and
are unstable or lose activity in detergents commonly used for structure and function …
