Theoretical analysis of protein organization in lipid membranes

TL;DR: Phenomena discussed include lipid sorting and selectivity at protein surfaces, protein-lipid phase equilibria, lipid-mediated protein-protein interactions, wetting and capillary condensation as means of protein organization, mechanisms of two-dimensional protein crystallization, as well as non-equilibrium organization of active proteins in membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase synchronization in regular and chaotic systems

TL;DR: This contribution presents a brief introduction to the theory of synchronization of selfsustained oscillators, and the basic notions of phase and frequency locking are reconsidered within a common framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anabaena sensory rhodopsin: a photochromic color sensor at 2.0 A.

TL;DR: Anabaena sensory rhodopsin exhibits light-induced interconversion between stable 13-cis and all-trans states of the retinylidene protein, thus providing a mechanism for a single protein to signal the color of light to regulate color-sensitive processes such as chromatic adaptation in photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thickness of electrical double layer. Effect of ion size

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple statistical approach is used, where the particles in the solution are distributed over a lattice with an adjustable lattice constant, and different sizes of ions are described by different values of the lattice constants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure, initial excited-state relaxation, and energy storage of rhodopsin resolved at the multiconfigurational perturbation theory level.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Rh environment is more similar to the “gas phase” than to the solution environment and that the mechanism of the ∼30 kcal·mol-1 photon energy storage observed for Rh is not consistent with a model based exclusively on the change of the electrostatic interaction of the chromophore with the protein/counterion environment.
