Abstract:
DNA–lipid complexes are of biomedical importance as delivery vectors for gene therapy. To gain insight into the interactions of DNA with zwitterionic and cationic (dimyristoyltrimethylammonium propane (DMTAP)) lipids, we have used coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the self-assembly of DPPC and DPPC/DMTAP lipid bilayers in the presence of a DNA dodecamer. We observed the spontaneous formation of lipid bilayers from initial systems containing randomly placed lipids, water–counterions and DNA. In both the DPPC and DPPC/DMTAP simulations, the DNA molecule is located at the wat

Abstract:
To advance mechanistic understanding of membrane-associated peptide folding and insertion, we have studied the kinetics of three single tryptophan pHLIP (pH-Low Insertion Peptide) variants, where tryptophan residues are located near the N terminus, near the middle, and near the inserting C-terminal end of the pHLIP transmembrane helix. Single-tryptophan pHLIP variants allowed us to probe different parts of the peptide in the pathways of peptide insertion into the lipid bilayer (triggered by a pH drop) and peptide exit from the bilayer (triggered by a rise in pH). By using pH jumps of different

Abstract:
Molecular-dynamics simulations covering 30ns of both a natural and a synthetic antimicrobial peptide in the presence of a zwitterionic lipid bilayer were performed. In both simulations, copies of the peptides were placed in an α-helical conformation on either side of the bilayer about 10Å (1Å = 0.1nm) from the interface, with either the hydrophobic or the positively charged face of the helix directed toward the bilayer surface. The degree of peptide—lipid interaction was dependent on the starting configuration: surface binding and subsequent penetration of the bilayer was observed for the hydr

Abstract:
The pH low-insertion peptide (pHLIP) serves as a model system for peptide insertion and folding across a lipid bilayer. It has three general states: (I) soluble in water or (II) bound to the surface of a lipid bilayer as an unstructured monomer, and (III) inserted across the bilayer as a monomeric α-helix. We used fluorescence spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry to study the interactions of pHLIP with a palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) lipid bilayer and to calculate the transition energies between states. We found that the Gibbs free energy of binding to a POPC surface a

The modification of archaeal lipid bilayer properties by the insertion of apolar molecules in the lipid bilayer midplane has been proposed to support cell membrane adaptation to extreme environmental conditions of temperature and hydrostatic pressure.

We have monitored large molecule and proton permeability and Laurdan generalized polarization from lipid vesicles as a function of temperature and hydrostatic

ABSTRACT The 1,024-amino-acid acylated hemolysin of Escherichia coli subverts host cell functions and causes cell lysis. Both activities require insertion of the toxin into target mammalian cell membranes. To identify directly the principal toxin sequences dictating membrane binding and insertion, we assayed the lipid bilayer interaction of native protoxin, stably active toxin, and recombinant peptides. Binding was assessed by flotation of protein-liposome mixtures through density gradients, and insertion was assessed by labeling with a photoactivatable probe incorporated into the target lipid

Abstract:
Vibrio parahaemolyticus secretes thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH), a major virulence factor. Earlier studies report that TDH is a pore-forming toxin. However, the characteristics of pores formed by TDH in the lipid bilayer, which is permeable to small ions, remain to be elucidated. Ion channel-like activities were observed in lipid bilayers containing TDH. Three types of conductance were identified. All the channels displayed relatively low ion selectivity, and similar ion permeability. The Cl− channel inhibitors, DIDS, glybenclamide, and NPPB, did not affect the channel activity of pores f

Knowledge about the insertion and stabilization of membrane proteins is a key step towards understanding their function and enabling membrane protein design. Transmembrane helices are normally quite hydrophobic to insert efficiently, but there are many exceptions with unfavorable polar or titratable residues. Since evolutionary conserved these amino acids are likely of paramount functional importance, e.g. the four arginines in the S4 voltage sensor helix of voltage-gated ion channels. This has lead to vivid discussion about their conformation, protonation state and cost of insertion. To addre

Many signaling mechanisms in living cells occur at biological boundaries via cell surface receptors and membrane proteins embedded in lipid bilayers. The coordination of actions of sensory and motor neurons in the nervous system represents one example of many that heavily depends on lipid membrane bound receptor mediated signaling. As a result, chemical and biological toxins that disrupt these neural signals can have severe physiological effects, including paralysis and death.

However, that study also motivated the need to develop fully-encapsulated devices that feature arrays of hair-cells.

Memristors are solid-state devices that exhibit voltage-controlled conductance. This tunable functionality enables the implementation of biologically-inspired synaptic functions in solid-state neuromorphic computing systems. However, while memristors are meant to emulate an intricate signal transduction process performed by soft biomolecular structures, they are commonly constructed from silicon- or polymer-based materials. As a result, the volatility, intricate design, and high-energy resistance switching in memristive devices, usually, leads to energy consumption in memristors that is severa
