TL;DR: In this paper, the 13C-NMR line-width of various resonances of the lipid molecule and sensitive to the bilayer in equilibrium hexagonal and the bilayers in equilibrium 'isotropic' phase transition is described.

TL;DR: The inhibition of Ca2+-induced fusion of PS vesicles by incorporation of glycophorin is explained by a combination of steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion between the vesicle contents and a direct bilayer stabilization by the intramembranous hydrophobic part of the glycoph orin molecule.

TL;DR: The results show that lysozyme inserts efficiently into all monolayers tested, including pure monoglyceride layers, and a large exothermic binding enthalpy was observed which was found to depend on the nature of the monoglycersides but not of the proteins.

TL;DR: It was found that membrane potential‐dependent protection from trypsin was much faster for the peptide bound to PG‐containing vesicles compared to CL‐containing membranes, suggesting that in the mitochondrial protein import process other components of the import apparatus are involved in the efficient potential‐driven translocation of presequences across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

TL;DR: Channels formed by the acylgramicidins and by gramicidin A are structurally and conformationally equivalent, which means that lauroyl- and stearoylgramicIDin are approximately 200 times less effective in channel formation as compared to gramicidein A.
