Neutron scattering methods are powerful tools for the study of the structure and dynamics of
lipid bilayers in length scales from sub Å to tens to hundreds nm and the time scales from …

For macromolecular structures determined by cryogenic electron microscopy, no technique
currently exists for mapping elements to defined locations, leading to errors in the …

The biological function of membranes is closely related to their softness, which is often
studied through the membranes' thermally driven fluctuations. Typically, the analysis …

The Sar1 GTPase initiates coat protein II (COPII)-mediated protein transport by generating
membrane curvature at subdomains on the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is activated by …

Poloxamers, a class of biocompatible, commercially available amphiphilic block polymers
(ABPs) comprising poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) and poly (propylene oxide)(PPO) blocks …

Lipid membrane viscosity is critical to biological function. Bacterial cells grown in different
environments alter their lipid composition in order to maintain a specific viscosity, and …

Cellular membranes are composed of lipids typically organized in a double-leaflet structure.
Interactions between these two leaflets–often referred to as interleaflet coupling–play a …

Lipids that have two tails of different lengths are found throughout biomembranes in nature,
yet the effects of this asymmetry on the membrane properties are not well understood …

Biological and model membranes are frequently subjected to fluid shear stress. However,
membrane mechanical responses to flow remain incompletely described. This is particularly …
