TL;DR: This work shows the insensitivity of phase segregation to the specific arrangement of the cationic charges in the sequence of these small cationsic peptides as well as being independent of their tendency to form different secondary structures.

TL;DR: Eicosanol is the only aliphatic alcohol tested which substantially increases in fusion of influenza virus and long chain alcohols display multi-component bilayer to hexagonal phase transitions at higher mole fractions, which suggests that eicos ethanol may be facilitating fusion by creating defects between alcohol-rich and alcohol-poor regions of the lipid bilayer.

TL;DR: SPEs have profound effects on the phase behaviour of model membrane systems, and may be important to consider when developing current and potential industrial and medical applications.

TL;DR: The incorporation of tritium from NaB3H4 into the major protein components of myelin and the presence of weak fluorescence emission bands at wavelengths of –440 and 500 are indicative of the presenceof the products of aldehyde reactions with proteins.
