Differential Properties of the Sterols Cholesterol, Ergosterol, β-Sitosterol, trans-7-Dehydrocholesterol, Stigmasterol and Lanosterol on DPPC Bilayer Order

C. Bernsdorff, +1 more
- 29 Aug 2003 - 
TL;DR: The incorporation of the different sterols into the DPPC bilayer enhances the orientational order of TMA-DPH in the liquid-crystalline state of DPPC, whereas the orientation of the plant sterols is changed.

The color of rhodopsins at the ab initio multiconfigurational perturbation theory resolution.

Pedro B. Coto, +3 more
- 14 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that “brute force” quantum-mechanics/molecular- mechanics computations based on ab initio (i.e., first principles) multiconfigurational perturbation theory can reproduce the absorption maxima of a set of modified bovine rhodopsins with an accuracy allowing for the analysis of the factors determining their colors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of cholesterol and ergosterol on membrane dynamics: a fluorescence approach.

Ajuna Arora, +2 more
- 11 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: These novel results are relevant in the context of lipid rafts in ergosterol-containing organisms such as Drosophila which maintain a low level of sterol compared to higher eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics in atomistic simulations of phospholipid membranes: Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation rates and lateral diffusion

Jakob Wohlert, +1 more
- 22 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that a long, near microsecond, atomistic simulation can shed some light upon the dynamical processes occurring in a lipid bilayer.

GRK1-Dependent Phosphorylation of S and M Opsins and Their Binding to Cone Arrestin during Cone Phototransduction in the Mouse Retina

Xuemei Zhu, +5 more
- 09 Jul 2003 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate, for the first time in a mammalian species, that cone opsins are phosphorylated and that CAR binds toosphorylated cone opsin phosphorylation after light activation.
