Changes in HeLa cell morphology, membrane permeability, and viability caused by the
presence of Triton X-100 (TX100), a nonionic surfactant, were studied by scanning …

We report the collision behavior of single unilamellar vesicles, composed of a bilayer lipid
membrane (BLM), on a platinum (Pt) ultramicroelectrode (UME) by two electrochemical …

Hypothesis Although solubilization of lipid membranes has been studied extensively,
questions remain regarding the structural pathways and metastable structures involved. This …

How acute respiratory distress syndrome progresses from underlying disease or trauma is
poorly understood, and there are no generally accepted treatments resulting in a 40 …

The interactions between a model phospholipid 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-
phosphocholine (DPPC) and a biosurfactant Quillaja Bark Saponin (QBS) obtained from the …

In this work, a new approach of incorporating transmembrane protein AquaporinZ (AqpZ)
into a lipid bilayer has been developed with the aid of the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. The …

ABCG2 is a human membrane ATP-binding cassette half-transporter that hydrolyzes ATP to
efflux a large number of chemotherapeutic agents. Several oligomeric states of ABCG2 from …

Triterpenoid saponins, which are glycosidic derivatives of oleanolic acid, demonstrate
numerous pharmacological properties. The hairy root cultures of marigold accumulate these …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the interfacial behaviour of model
biomembranes in the presence of β-carotene (βC). The Langmuir monolayer technique was …

Fluorinated amphipaths are a fascinating class of compounds, which, despite significant
challenges associated with their syntheses, have found use across a number of areas of …
