Cylindrical equilibrium shapes of fluid membranes

TL;DR: In this paper, all solutions to this equation determining cylindrical membrane shapes are found and presented, together with the expressions for the corresponding position vectors, in explicit analytic form, and necessary and sufficient conditions for such a surface to be closed are derived.

Mechanism of color tuning in retinal protein: SAC-CI and QM/MM study

TL;DR: In this paper, the SAC-CI and QM/MM methods were applied to calculations of the absorption peaks of the five retinal proteins, bovine rhodopsin (Rh), bacteriorhodopsins (bR) in BR, K, and KL states, and sensory rhodopin II (sRII).

Mechanism of the citrate transporters in carbohydrate and citrate cometabolism in Lactococcus and Leuconostoc species

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the endogenous CitP of Lactococcus lactis has the same properties, showing that the few differences in the amino acid sequences of the CitPs of members of the two genera do not result in different catalytic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-directed assembly of bio/nano interfaces-a new scheme for cell immobilization.

TL;DR: This work shows this interface to form by an active interplay between the living cell and surrounding matrix, which it refers to as cell-directed assembly (CDA).

Softening of Membrane Bilayers by Detergents Elucidated by Deuterium NMR Spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the deuterium NMR spectra of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with perdeuterated acyl chains were compared with DMPC containing a nonionic detergent as an additive.
