TLDR
The change in order of lipid molecules surrounding a protein leads to an indirect, lipid-mediated interaction between membrane integral proteins and the surrounding lipids, which depends sensitively on the bulk lipid order.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Physical principles of membrane organization.
TL;DR: An understanding of the physical principles that govern the molecular organization of membranes is essential for an understanding of their physiological roles since structure and function are much more interdependent in membranes than in, say, simple chemical reactions in solution.

Phase equilibria in the phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol system
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phase behaviour of phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol mixtures can be rationalized using only a few basic assumptions, suggesting that the occurrence of specific phosphatido-ch cholesterol complexes is not implied by the experimental thermodynamic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical properties of the fluid lipid-bilayer component of cell membranes: a perspective.
TL;DR: The motivation for this review arises from the conviction that, as a result of the mass of experimental data and observations collected in recent years, the study of the physical properties of membranes is now entering a new stage of development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mattress model of lipid-protein interactions in membranes
Ole G. Mouritsen,Myer Bloom +1 more
TL;DR: The model is used to interpret the influence of the lipid-protein interaction on calorimetric measurements and on local orientational order as determined by deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capillary interactions between particles bound to interfaces, liquid films and biomembranes.
TL;DR: This article is devoted to an overview, comparison and discussion of recent results (both theoretical and experimental) about lateral capillary forces, when the contact of particles or other bodies with a fluid phase boundary causes perturbations in the interfacial shape.

Structure and polymorphism of the hydrocarbon chains of lipids: a study of lecithin-water phases.
TL;DR: The structure of lecithin-water phases observed below the melting temperature of the hydrocarbon chains, with special emphasis on the conformation of the chains, is described in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chain ordering in liquid crystals. II. Structure of bilayer membranes.
TL;DR: In this paper, the ordering of the hydrocarbon chain interior of bilayer membranes has been calculated using the molecular field approximation developed in previous work on liquid crystals, and different statistical averages are evaluated by exact summation over all conformations of a single chain in the field due to neighboring molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol is excluded from the phospholipid annulus surrounding an active calcium transport protein
TL;DR: When phospholipids in the first shell of the lipid bilayer surrounding a calcium transport protein are replaced by cholesterol, there is a complete and reversible inactivation of ATPase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deuterium order parameters in relation to thermodynamic properties of a phospholiped bilayer. A statistical mechanical interpretation
TL;DR: The physical properties of bilayers of dipalmitoyl-3-sn-phosphatidylcholine are analyzed in terms of a statistical model proposed by Marcelja, which yields the probabilities of trans and gauche conformations and also those of more specific conformational defects like kinks or jogs.

Spin labels as enzyme substrates. Heterogeneous lipid distribution in liver microsomal membranes.
A. Stier,E. Sackmann +1 more
TL;DR: The results clearly indicate the existence of a mosaic-like structure of the membrane with the whole enzyme system being enclosed by a rather rigid phospholipid halo, which is in a quasicrystalline structure below 32 °C and undergoes a crystalline-liquid crystalline phase transition at32 °C.
