Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol perturbs lipid bilayers nonuniversally.
TL;DR: There is a large biophysical literature of cholesterol in lipid bilayers, and cholesterol is important in producing macroscopic fluidfluid phase separation that has been so strikingly visualized by fluorescence microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase Studies of Model Biomembranes: Complex Behavior of DSPC/DOPC/Cholesterol
J. Zhao,Jing Wu,Frederick A. Heberle,Thalia T. Mills,Paul Klawitter,Grace T. Huang,Greg Costanza,Gerald W. Feigenson +7 more
TL;DR: An initial stage of these experiments is reported, in which the properties of a chemically simple lipid mixture are carefully mapped onto a phase diagram, to serve as a means to understand the behaviors of a range of added lipids and proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Order parameters and areas in fluid-phase oriented lipid membranes using wide angle X-ray scattering.
Thalia T. Mills,Thalia T. Mills,Gilman E. S. Toombes,Gilman E. S. Toombes,Stephanie Tristram-Nagle,Detlef-M. Smilgies,Gerald W. Feigenson,John F. Nagle +7 more
TL;DR: By combining information about the average chain orientation with the chain-chain correlation spacing, a commonly used method for calculating areas for gel-phase lipids to fluid-phaselipids is extended and obtained agreement to within 5% of literature values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Counterion distribution around DNA probed by solution X-ray scattering.
Rhiju Das,Thalia T. Mills,Lisa W. Kwok,G. S. Maskel,Ian S. Millett,Sebastian Doniach,Ken Finkelstein,Daniel Herschlag,Lois Pollack +8 more
TL;DR: The quality of the data permit, for the first time, quantitative tests of extended counterion distributions calculated from atomic-scale models of biologically relevant molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fastest Global Events in RNA Folding: Electrostatic Relaxation and Tertiary Collapse of the Tetrahymena Ribozyme ☆
Rhiju Das,Lisa W. Kwok,Ian S. Millett,Yu Bai,Thalia T. Mills,Jaby Jacob,Jaby Jacob,Gregory S. Maskel,Soenke Seifert,Simon G. J. Mochrie,Pappannan Thiyagarajan,Sebastian Doniach,Lois Pollack,Daniel Herschlag +13 more
TL;DR: This paper used X-ray scattering to monitor the fastest global shape changes of the Tetrahymena ribozyme under different ionic conditions and with RNA mutations that remove long-range tertiary contacts.
