Journal ArticleDOI

MEMBPLUGIN: studying membrane complexity in VMD.

TL;DR: MEMBPLUGIN is a plugin for the Visual Molecular Dynamics package that provides algorithms to measure a host of essential biophysical properties in simulated membranes and is accessible both through a user-friendly graphical interface and as command-line procedures to be invoked in analysis scripts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane Protein Structure, Function, and Dynamics: a Perspective from Experiments and Theory

TL;DR: Current studies in computational and experimental membrane protein biophysics are presented, and how they address outstanding challenges in understanding the complex environmental effects on the structure, function, and dynamics of membrane proteins are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane cholesterol access into a G-protein-coupled receptor.

TL;DR: Overall, it is shown that cholesterol's impact on A2AR-binding affinity goes beyond pure allosteric modulation and unveils a new interaction mode between cholesterol and the A2 AR that could potentially apply to other GPCRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced effects of sodium ions on dopaminergic G-protein coupled receptors.

TL;DR: Detailed quantitative information is provided about binding of sodium ions in the D2 receptor and a possibly important sodium-induced conformational change for modulation of D2 receptors function is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane omega-3 fatty acids modulate the oligomerisation kinetics of adenosine A2A and dopamine D2 receptors

TL;DR: It is revealed for the first time that membrane ω-3 PUFAs play a key role in GPCR oligomerisation kinetics, which may have important implications for neuropsychiatric conditions like schizophrenia or Parkinson’s disease.
