T cell activation depends on extracellular ligation of the T cell receptor (TCR) by peptide–
MHC complexes in a synapse between the T cell and an antigen-presenting cell. The …

Particle-based reaction-diffusion algorithms facilitate the modeling of the diffusional motion
of individual molecules and the reactions between them in cellular environments. A …

The electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) of tethered bilayer membranes (tBLMs) were
analyzed, and the analytical solution for the spectral response of membranes containing …

Synaptic vesicle fusion is mediated by SNARE proteins forming in between synaptic vesicle
(v-SNARE) and plasma membrane (t-SNARE), one of which is Syntaxin-1A. Although …

We investigate the low density behaviour of fluids that interact through a short-ranged
attraction together with a long-ranged repulsion (SALR potential) by developing a molecular …

Recent experiments with undersaturated aqueous glycine solutions have repeatedly
exhibited the presence of giant liquid-like clusters or nanodroplets around 100 nm in …

CD81 is a ubiquitously expressed member of the tetraspanin family. It forms large molecular
platforms, so-called tetraspanin webs that play physiological roles in a variety of cellular …

The plasma membrane is a composite material, which forms a semi-permeable barrier and
an interface for communication between the intracellular and extracellular environments …

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is an essential process for most living organisms
mostly sustained by protein complexes embedded in the cell membrane. In order to thrive …

Theoretical work suggests that collective spatiotemporal behavior of integral membrane
proteins should be modulated by boundary lipids sheathing their membrane anchors. Here …
