The membrane is one of the key structural materials of biology at the cellular level.
Composed predominantly of a bilayer of lipids with embedded and bound proteins, it defines …

The plasma membrane is one of the principal structural components of the cell and,
therefore, one of the key components of the cellular life. Because the membrane's dynamics …

The instruments best suited to performing high-energy-resolution neutron spectroscopy are
spin-echo spectrometers and backscattering spectrometers. The development of these …

The structural dynamics and flexibility of cell membranes play fundamental roles in the
functions of the cells, ie, signaling, energy transduction, and physiological adaptation. The …

The scattering of neutrons can be used to provide information on the structure and dynamics
of biological systems on multiple length and time scales. Pursuant to a National Science …

Membrane systems that naturally occur as densely packed membrane stacks contain high
amounts of glycolipids whose saccharide headgroups display multiple small electric dipoles …

Cyanobacteria are intricately organized, incorporating an array of internal thylakoid
membranes, the site of photosynthesis, into cells no larger than other bacteria. They also …

Cyanobacteria are structurally the simplest oxygenic phototrophs, but it is difficult to
understand the regulation of their photosynthesis because the photosynthetic and …
