Sphingomyelins and ent-Sphingomyelins Form Homophilic Nano-Subdomains within Liquid Ordered Domains

TL;DR: Results suggest that (even in the absence of ent-SM) SM-SM interactions play a crucial role in forming nano-subdomains within liquid-ordered domains and may be a key feature of lipid microdomains in biological membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amphotericin B covalent dimers with carbonyl-amino linkage: a new probe for investigating ion channel assemblies

TL;DR: Dimmer 4 with a longer linker revealed K+ ion flux activity, suggesting that some distance and/or flexibility between the carboxyl and amino groups in adjacent molecules is required for the formation of ion-permeable complex in biomembranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mosquito larvicidal limonoids from the fruits of Chisocheton erythrocarpus Hiern

TL;DR: Mosquito larvicidal activity of the limonoids revealed that 4 and 5 were toxic to larvae of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Culex Quinquefasciatus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly efficient preparation of selectively isotope cluster-labeled long chain fatty acids via two consecutive C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling reactions.

TL;DR: An efficient synthesis involving two copper-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl coupling reactions has been designed to easily access doubly isotope-labeled fatty acids and will be further used for determining the conformation of anAlkyl chain of lipidic biomolecules upon interaction with proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pivotal Role of Interdigitation in Interleaflet Interactions: Implications from Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

TL;DR: The phase behavior of asymmetric membranes is investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations and it is determined that interdigitated acyl chains modulated the partitioning of Chol in the opposing leaflet, resulting in phase separation.
