Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriocin diversity: ecological and evolutionary perspectives.
Margaret A. Riley,John E. Wertz +1 more
TL;DR: Current knowledge of how such extraordinary protein diversity arose and is maintained in microbial populations and what role these toxins play in mediating microbial population-level and community-level dynamics are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of metal cations on the phase behavior and hydration characteristics of phospholipid membranes.
Hans Binder,Olaf Zschörnig +1 more
TL;DR: To characterize the specificity of ion binding to phospholipids in terms of headgroup structure, hydration and lyotropic phase behavior, it is shown that complex formation of the phosphate groups with divalent ions gives rise to conformational changes and immobilization of the headgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid Bilayer Pressure Profiles and Mechanosensitive Channel Gating
TL;DR: A simple geometric analysis for the gating of the mechanosensitive channel MscL suggests that pressure profiles affect its gating through the second moment of the profile in a tension-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the RCK domain from the E. coli K+ channel and demonstration of its presence in the human BK channel.
Youxing Jiang,Alexander R. Pico,Alexander R. Pico,Martine Cadene,Brian T. Chait,Roderick MacKinnon,Roderick MacKinnon +6 more
TL;DR: The intracellular C-terminal domain structure of a six-transmembrane K+ channel from Escherichia coli has been solved by X-ray crystallography at 2.4 A resolution and it is demonstrated that an RCK domain is also present and is an important component of the gating machinery in eukaryotic large-conductance Ca2+ activated K+ channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond Poisson-Boltzmann: Fluctuation effects and correlation functions
Roland R. Netz,Henri Orland +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the exact non-linear field theory for a fluctuating counter-ion distribution in the presence of a fixed, arbitrary charge distribution is formulated and applied to the case of a single impenetrable wall with counter ions only (in the absence of salt ions).
