This review presents data on the influence of various experimental parameters on the
binding of proteins onto Langmuir lipid monolayers. The users of the Langmuir methodology …

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are known to constitute a key step in protein
biosynthesis and in the regulation of protein functions. Recent breakthroughs in protein …

Recoverin undergoes a calcium–myristoyl switch during visual phototransduction. Indeed,
calcium binding by recoverin results in the extrusion of its myristoyl group, which allows its …

Mining of phospholipase D (PLD) with altered acyl group recognition except its head group
specificity is also useful in terms of specific acyl size phospholipid production and as …

Membrane fusion is known to be the primary mechanism of entry of flaviviruses into host
cells. Several studies reported the investigation of the membrane fusion mechanism …

Protein S100A10 participates in different cellular mechanisms and has different functions,
especially at the membrane. Among those, it forms a ternary complex with annexin A2 and …

In this chapter, we present an overview about different roles of Langmuir monolayers as
biomembrane models, contributing to understand biological phenomena or help develop …

Degeneration of photoreceptors (rods and cones) results in blindness. As we rely almost
entirely on our daytime vision mediated by the cones, it is the loss of these photoreceptors …

The dysferlin membrane repair complex contains a small complex, S100A10–annexin A2,
which initiates membrane repair by recruiting the protein AHNAK to the membrane, where it …

Neurocalcin delta (NCALD) is a member of the neuronal calcium sensors protein family. In
the retina, NCALD is expressed by ganglion and amacrine cells. NCALD is composed of 4 …
