Membrane lipids interact with proteins in a variety of ways, ranging from providing a stable
membrane environment for proteins to being embedded in to detailed roles in complicated …

Biological membranes are tricky to investigate. They are complex in terms of molecular
composition and structure, functional over a wide range of time scales, and characterized by …

G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are critical regulators of cellular function acting via
heterotrimeric G proteins as their primary transducers with individual GPCRs capable of …

Cholesterol is a key component of cell membranes with a proven modulatory role on the
function and ligand-binding properties of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Crystal …

Lipid molecules are able to selectively interact with specific sites on integral membrane
proteins, and modulate their structure and function. Identification and characterization of …

Cholesterol is an essential component of eukaryotic membranes and plays a crucial role in
membrane organization, dynamics and function. The modulatory role of cholesterol in the …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of molecules involved in signal
transduction across cell membranes and represent major targets in the development of …

Cholesterol is an essential component of higher eukaryotic membranes and plays a crucial

Abstract Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an intrinsically fluorescent
neurotransmitter found in organisms spanning a wide evolutionary range. Serotonin exerts …

Since the 50's, the massive and “environmental naïve” use of synthetic chemistry has
revolutionized the farming community facing the dramatic growth of demography. However …
